No matter what you need to know about Hogwarts Legacy, you’re sure to find what you need in our complete guide.
Hogwarts Legacy: Release dates
If you’re not already playing Hogwarts Legacy, then there is a fairly simple trick to play it a little bit earlier. However, if you don’t have one of the latest consoles, it will eventually launch on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, but you’ll have to wait a little longer. We have all the release dates for other consoles so you know how long you will have to wait.
Hogwarts Legacy: Before you begin
There are a number of things you need to know before you start playing Hogwarts Legacy. The first choice you have to make is what character you play as, which changes up the game. Which of the four houses you land in is also important, and we know all the differences that your choice of house will make.
You may also want to check out the different settings for performance and visual options which we have outlined depending on your console and display. If you want to make sure you have enough free time to beat Hogwarts Legacy, we estimated our play time, have a full mission list, and all of your post-game options.
Hogwarts Legacy: Starting school
There are some great tips for beginners so you don’t get lost in the big open world. However, there are some specific things you will want to do early on in the game in order to make things easier later on. Gold is really important, allowing you to get what you want when you want, and we have some great methods to make money fast.
Once your wallet is full you’ll need the inventory space to put all your items. While it starts out small, there’s an easy way to upgrade your space, which you’ll want to do when you start out your journey. Different events take place at different times of the day, so it’s important to know how to change the time in order to save yourself the wait. If you don’t like your look, you can also change your appearance, even if you sell your gear.
As an RPG, Hogwarts Legacy also has a talent tree where you will choose what kind of build you use for the game.
