Warner Bros. Games has announced the launch of pre-orders for Hogwarts Legacy: The Legacy of Hogwarts on Nintendo Switch 2 and released a new trailer highlighting the significant enhancements in this version. Developed in collaboration with Krome Studios, this port fully leverages the additional capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2. The improvements go beyond cosmetic changes; they fundamentally enhance the gaming experience. In docked mode, the game supports a 1440p display, while handheld mode offers 1080p HDR at a frame rate consistently above the previously inconsistent 30fps. Lighting has been refined, shadows are sharper, aliasing is reduced, and loading times have been significantly shortened. Moreover, players can now freely explore the entire open world without encountering the interruptions and black screens that were present in the Switch version, providing an uninterrupted sense of freedom and immersion.
The core gameplay remains unchanged, but technical improvements enhance the experience. Warner Bros. has been cautious not to disappoint players, and if you already own the original Switch version—whether physical or digital—the upgrade to the Switch 2 version will cost only €10. This approach is similar to what PlayStation implements with its remastered titles.
The process is simple:
Digital Version: Log in to the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop with your same Nintendo account.
