Summary
The Nintendo Switch version ofHogwarts Legacywill finally be available on November 14, marking one of the biggest days for the popular action-RPG since its initial launch earlier this year. 2023 has been largely dominated byHogwarts Legacy, with theHarry Potteraction-RPG earning rave reviews from critics and establishing itself as one of the best-selling new game releases of the year. In fact,Hogwarts Legacystands a decent chance at being the absolute best-selling game of 2023 by the time it’s all said and done.
Hogwarts Legacywas a massive sales successout of the gate on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, breaking records and becoming one of Steam’s most-played games for 2023. However,Hogwarts Legacy’s story didn’t stop there. On May 5, the PS4 and Xbox One versions ofHogwarts Legacydropped, giving those on older hardware the chance to start their Hogwarts adventures.
Prior to their launch, there were some concerns that the last-gen versions ofHogwarts Legacywould be wildly inferior to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, but thankfully, that wasn’t the case. While the developers certainly had to make some minor tweaks togetHogwarts Legacyrunning well on PS4 and Xbox One, the ports were still very well-received. The Nintendo Switch version ofHogwarts Legacywill be an even bigger challenge, and it will be exciting to see if it lives up to expectations when it releases on November 14.
When is the Nintendo Switch Version of Hogwarts Legacy Coming Out?
So far, practically nothing has been shown of theSwitch port ofHogwarts Legacy. The Nintendo Switch version of the game was originally supposed to release this past summer, but its release date was ultimately pushed back to give the developers more time to make sure the Switch experience lives up to the high bar set by the other versions of the game. The Switch version ofHogwarts Legacywill no doubt have to make some sacrifices if it wants to perform well on the Switch, but it remains to be seen just how extensive those sacrifices will be.
There is some cause to be concerned about the Switch version ofHogwarts Legacy. After all, Warner Bros.' ownMortal Kombat 1has a horrid Switch portwith vastly inferior graphics and a multitude of glitches and performance problems not found in the PlayStation and Xbox versions. Some fans may be worried that theHogwarts LegacySwitch port may have a similar fate, but then again, many had the same concerns about the PS4 and Xbox One versions and were proven wrong.
Regardless of how it turns out, the Nintendo Switch port ofHogwarts Legacyensures that November 14 is going to be a massive day for the action-RPG. With noHogwarts LegacyDLC planned, perhaps the developers can increase their focus on theinevitableHogwarts Legacysequelonce the Switch port is out the door.
Hogwarts Legacyis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with a Switch version dropping on November 14.
