As is often the case today, Hogwarts Legacy offers its players to discover its universe in early access 72 hours before its release. To do this, there is unfortunately no miracle solution, you will need to own the Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy, sold for € 84.99 on the Playstation Store for PS5 players, for €84.99 on Xbox Series on Amazonand for €69.99 on Steam.
It will not have escaped you that Hogwarts Legacy has not one, nor two, but three different release dates. The game will first appear on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, before arriving on PS4 and Xbox One in early April and Nintendo Switch in late July. On all the platforms mentioned, there is a Deluxe version and a Collector’s version of the game which both promise early access to the game upon release. However, if the release of the game on PS4 and Xbox One is in doubt, which implies that the existence of early access to the game on these platforms is possible, the release of Hogwarts Legacy on Switch is extremely doubtful. In any case, Warner Games and Avalanche Software will have to find ways to adapt the ambition of their RPG to the capabilities of the small hybrid console.
