Hogwarts Legacy early access on Steam not working? Try this simple fix

PC players who pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition should be enjoying Hogwarts Legacy early access on Steam, but many are reporting issues trying to open and play the game.

The Harry Potter-based open-world RPG from Avalanche Software doesn’t officially release for everyone until tomorrow, February 10. Those particularly curious about the magical experience Hogwarts Legacy offers, however, had the chance to pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition, which gifts players with the ability to play up to 72 hours before launch. That time has been increasingly dwindling as the week rolls on, so it’s crucially important to make the most of this perk and jump in early while you still can.

All seems to be well for players wanting to enjoy Hogwarts Legacy early access on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It’s PC players on Steam that are finding the most difficulty, having issues playing – and sometimes even launching – the game. Thankfully, the community that has quickly built up around Hogwarts Legacy is already offering useful fixes and workarounds to resolve the issue on Steam via the ‘Report a Bug’ feature on the Warner Bros. website. Here are some of the suggested tricks to get players up and running.
