Hogwarts Legacy is now available to pre-order ahead of its February 10 release date. With the new Harry Potter game there are pre-ordered bonuses and special editions to entice fans to put down their dollars ahead of time. Here’s all of the Hogwarts Legacy’s pre-order info you need to know.
Why shouldn’t I pre-order Hogwarts Legacy?
Those who are simply looking to play the game at release and aren’t interested in any bonus content need not pre-order Hogwarts Legacy.
Stock levels at launch, especially for the digital version, are unlikely to be a concern, allowing anyone who wants to play the game on day one to do so without pre-ordering.
