The big question Harry Potter fans are probably asking themselves this week is whether or not to take over Hogwarts Legacy. So should you? The signs point to Yes absolutely. According to our Hogwarts Legacy review, this is the game that many Harry Potter fans have waited their whole lives to play. It is an open-world game set in the famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that gives you a lot of freedom to roam the locations, engage in spell battles, and much more.
The standard edition of the game is released on February 10, while the deluxe edition, which costs $10 more, is released on February 7. If you pre-order Hogwarts Legacy today for PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, you can get extras. We’ll take a look.
