To share :
The release of Hogwarts Legacy is fast approaching, and players who have pre-ordered the action-RPG event set in the Hogwarts universe can already pre-load the game developed by Avalanche Software! We explain how to do it.
The (hyped?) Hogwarts train will soon be leaving platform 9¾! Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy, arguably the most anticipated game of early 2023, recently came to us as part of a full preview now available on JV, and the Avalanche Software game seems to be preparing its next release a little more by making itself already pre-loadable. If the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the title will not be released for another good two months (April 4) and the Nintendo Switch edition will not reach us until July 25, PC players and next-gen consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series) will soon be able to embark on this new adventure very promising, and can even take a little head start if they really can’t wait to join the famous school of witchcraft…
Good news for players who are eagerly awaiting Hogwarts Legacy: in addition to the release of our more than promising preview, it is now possible to download the game published by Portkey Games (subsidiary of Warner Bros. Games). Indeed, those who have pre-ordered the dematerialized edition of Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox Series (S or X) have seen that the preload of the game is available on their console. Enough to satisfy even the weakest connections, since the game will definitely weigh close to 100 GB on your disk space (see below).”’ If you play on Xbox Series and plan to play the digital edition of the game, we suggest that you pre-order it if you want to start downloading it now, so you’re ready for release day.
We also remind you that by pre-ordering the digital Deluxe edition of the game, you will have early access allowing you to play it from February 7 (and this on any of the three media), ie 3 days before its official release for everyone, on February 10th. Preloading doesn’t seem to be available on PS5 and PC yet, according to the first feedback from the players concerned, but it won’t be long! Note that the size of the game should be around 85 GB if we are to believe the configurations required for the PC version, which we remind you below:
