The Hogwarts Legacy experience on the Nintendo Switch 2 is set to elevate your wizarding journey with enhanced visuals, quicker load times, and innovative mouse controls. As showcased in a captivating comparison teaser trailer, the seamless transitions between areas like Hogsmeade stand out, eliminating the wait times that players faced in the original version.
But that's just the beginning. The Nintendo Switch 2 version promises not only smoother gameplay with an improved frame rate but also richer textures, more detailed shadows, and vibrant color saturation throughout Hogwarts and its enchanting surroundings. You can witness these upgrades in the trailer below:
The addition of mouse controls piques our curiosity. Although Warner Bros., the game's developer, hasn't elaborated on this feature yet, we're eager to see how it might enhance the spell-casting experience.
Similar to upgrades offered for other Switch 1 games, if you own Hogwarts Legacy on the original system, you can upgrade to this enhanced version for just $10.
Hogwarts Legacy invites players into an immersive, action-packed, open-world RPG set in the 1800s wizarding world. Starting as a fifth-year student, you'll explore both new and familiar locations, encounter magical beasts, brew potions, hone your spell-casting skills, upgrade your talents, and tailor your character to become the witch or wizard of your dreams. This magical adventure will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day as the console's release, June 5.
Our experience with Hogwarts Legacy was nothing short of enchanting, earning it a 9/10 in our IGN Hogwart's Legacy review. We noted, "in almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG [we've] always wanted to play."
