Hogwarts Legacy is a new RPG developed by Avalanche Studios and published by WB Games. It revolves around the life of a young wizard in the prestigious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After being delayed for a while, the game is finally expected to release on February 10, 2023.
Given that the title will be available on all major platforms, pre-orders are already underway, and it's safe to assume that Potterheads from worldwide have already booked their copy. However, for the fans who are reluctant to purchase Hogwarts Legacy because their system might not be able to run it smoothly, here are all the system requirements.
Hogwarts Legacy system requirements for PC users
Although Hogwarts Legacy will be out on all major platforms, console owners needn't worry about system requirements. It's the PC players who need to consider these details. Here are the system requirements for the game as seen on Steam:

Now that the release date has come so close, it's unlikely that the game will be delayed any further.

Moreover, players who pre-order the game will also receive an Onyx Hippogriff mount, irrespective of which edition they order. As per the listings on Steam, the regular edition is priced at $59.99, and the deluxe edition costs $69.99.
