Since the State of Play entirely dedicated to Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy, fans have been all the over the social medias and in addition to the gameplay trailer, we learned some more, including about Nintendo.
The official website has been updated
It is from the official site of the game that the information came: Hogwarts Legacy will be available on the Nintendo Switch. The site has indeed been updated since the broadcast of the March 17 State of Play and the gameplay trailer and now indicates a cross-platform release in winter 2022. It will be possible to play this Harry Potter RPG on PC, Xbox One , Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
The Japanese hybrid console is not exactly convincing when it comes to the greedy graphics of open world games. Apart from Zelda Breath of the Wild which had managed to convince when it was released in 2017, it must be admitted that recent games like Pokémon Legends Arceus have struggled to satisfy players visually. This is all the more true for games with more realistic visuals like Skyrim or The Witcher 3 which have benefited from being ported to the Nintendo Switch. However, this remains correct and the arrival of Hogwarts Legacy on Switch is a good thing for all users who have not been able to obtain the latest next-gen consoles or a PC with good components.
Even if the minimum system requirements on PC have not yet been revealed, there is no doubt that it will take a competition machine to run Hogwarts Legacy with maximum graphics and FPS. Anyway, the native availability of the RPG on the Switch will also allow a wider audience to play (and therefore more benefits for the developers) and above all allow the game to be played in portable mode.
