Hogwarts Legacy Switch Port Pushed to November Release

Hogwarts Legacy’s Switch version will not be released in July, after the announcement of its delay this week pushing it to November.

Hogwarts Legacy Switch Port Pushed to November Release

Hogwarts Legacy’s final platform launch was supposed to happen on July 25th but bad news for Switch fans as it has been delayed. Instead, you can expect to play the magical open-world Action-RPG on Switch on November 14th instead.

The news comes with the unsurprising reason that the port needs more time according to the developer to provide the “best possible experience” for players. Both Xbox One and Playstation 4 also faced similar delays previously, but those versions have released this month.

The Switch is definitely facing its age as its hardware will need to accommodate more intensive titles. How the portable version of Hogwarts Legacy will run is curious, especially on the now 6-year-old device. But those looking for a portable version can still find one if they own the Steam Deck, which now has now been verified on the platform.

Switch or Not to Switch

First-party titles for the Switch are still having massive launches most recently The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom which has been the UK’s second biggest launch (according to Gamesindustry.biz). Third party titles may have been struggling with the aging hardware. One recent Switch version cancellation was for Marvel’s Midnight Suns which decided to forgo the platform. However, this is also to do with the game’s dwindling numbers due to its release window “wasn’t perfect” (according to Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick).

The wand chooses the wizard…or rather you do in Hogwarts Legacy.

Recently Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. have reported Hogwarts Legacy has reached a momentous 15 million units sold, which includes current gen console PS5, Xbox Series as well as PC. With the recent PS4/Xbox One releases this will add to that number.
