The new Hogwarts Legacy PS4 and Xbox One release date has been confirmed for May. Here’s the need-to-know info about when the new Harry Potter game is releasing on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as details on why it has been delayed again.
When is the new Hogwarts Legacy PS4 and Xbox One release date?
The new Hogwarts Legacy PS4 and Xbox One release date is May 5, 2023.
Previously, the PS4 and Xbox One release date had been April 4, which many retailers continue to advertise. This appears to have caused some confusion with some gamers thinking that the last-gen version should now be available.
Why was Hogwarts Legacy delayed again on PS4 and Xbox One?
Hogwarts Legacy was delayed again on PS4 and Xbox One so that the developer can “deliver the best possible experience on all platforms.”
The new release date and explanation were posted by the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account:
While the full game is already made and available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, there can be a lot of additional work in optimizing the game for last-gen systems. With both the PS4 and Xbox One being considerably less powerful, perfecting game performance can be tough and take some time. This is likely what developer Avalanche Software is working on in the final month before launch.
