Hogwarts Legacy PS4, Xbox One versions delayed even further

Hogwarts Legacy is the talk of the town. Despite the controversy surrounding author JK Rowling’s transphobic comments, Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed all commercial expectations to become one of the most successful games in recent memory.

Already, Hogwarts Legacy is the best-selling Harry Potter game of all time, shifting a whopping 12 million copies in just two weeks. Within that same time frame, players amassed over 267 million in-game hours. I can only imagine that number has increased seeing as we’re now almost a month on from release. A sequel has already been teased, plus it’s rumoured that a TV show may be in the works. Many are still waiting for the game though. Hogwarts Legacy has only been released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC to date. The bad news is, the previous-gen release of Hogwarts Legacy has been delayed yet again.

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy were originally supposed to release alongside the new-gen versions on 10 February. Back in December, the previous-gen versions were pushed back to 4 April. That date has now been pushed back again. Hogwarts Legacy will now release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 5 May, 2023.

Announcing the news, the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account wrote, “We’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the response to Hogwarts Legacy from fans around the globe. The team is working hard to deliver the best possible experience on all platforms and we need more time to do this. Hogwarts Legacy will launch for PS4 and Xbox One May 5, 2023.”

It’s understood that the Nintendo Switch version is still scheduled to release on 25 July.
