After an incredible launch with a reception that even the people at WB Games could not have imagined, Hogwarts Legacy continues to add successes with a gigantic user base. However, the game has yet to fulfill one of its promises, and that is that the developers have once again delayed its release for the previous generation. The good news? We already have a definite date.
The world of Harry Potter game for PS4 and Xbox One
It’s been almost a month since Hogwarts Legacy came to PS5 and Xbox Series, but many users are still waiting for the game to be available for older consoles. It is understandable that the importance of the release is not the same, but as promised, the game was going to be released for PS4 and Xbox One without too much delay. But no, that’s not what happened.
Due to the great impact that the game has had and the need to keep everything in order, the release of the previous generation version has suffered quite a few delays, to the point that the developers have had to release a statement confirming the new release date. .
We’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the response to Hogwarts Legacy from fans around the globe. The team is working hard to deliver the best possible experience on all platforms and we need more time to do this.

When will it be available?
The new release date of Hogwarts Legacy for PS4 and Xbox One will be the May 5, 2023, so we will have to wait two more months for the game to be available on the previous generation consoles. This is a hard blow for those who were hoping to choose a house at Hogwarts soon, but at least they will know that there is already a definite date for the arrival of the magical world.
Has the Switch version been delayed too?
Within the availability compatibility pack it was also present nintendoswitch. And it is that Hogwarts Legacy will also be available on Nintendo Switch, and although the supposed release date was set for the next July 25We don’t know if these latest delays on PS4 and Xbox One have affected Nintendo’s handheld version as well.
At the moment the game developers have not commented on the matter, so in theory everything should continue as planned. We’ll see if Switch finally suffers a delay, but we hope it doesn’t.
In the end, a desired game
All the controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy release has been tarnished by the successful launch of the game. And it is that the moral problems around buying the game were limping a lot. We understand that there could be a movement against JKRowling after his erroneous statements, but from there to pay it off with the game developers… Be that as it may, it seems that a large part of the fans have fallen captivated by the charm of the Harry Potter world that embodies the game, and that is that in terms of setting and atmosphere, it is an incredible game that any Potter fan will love.
