Hogwarts Legacy: Here's What Comes in Each Edition
Hogwarts Legacy is now available for preorder. As for when it's actually coming out, it's kind of complicated, thanks to a staggered release schedule. Hogwarts Legacy is set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 10. It will then arrive on the previous-gen systems, PS4 and Xbox One, on April 4. Finally, the game will come to Nintendo Switch on July 25.
A single-player open-world RPG, Hogwarts Legacy takes place at the storied academy in the 1800s, long before the events of the books and movies. Preorders are now available at various retailers, but if you preorder from Best Buy, you’ll get a free $10 gift card with your purchase. Not a bad deal on what will likely be one of the biggest games of the year.

What Is Hogwarts Legacy?
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG set at the school for wizardry in the 1800s. All of the familiar locations are represented, including the Great Hall, library, clocktower, and each of the houses’ common rooms.
You get to create and play as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. The main storyline involves investigating a goblin rebellion, but you’ll also have plenty of wizardly activities to do in your free time. You can fly around on a broom to take in the school, the Forbidden Forest, and the village of Hogsmeade from above, as well as areas further out. You can challenge classmates to magic duels and brew potions in class.
There are lots of spells to learn and enemies to fight. You can explore hidden nooks and crannies in the school just like the characters in the books do.
