Hogwarts Legacy is finally here and letting players live their dream of being able to create their own students and explore the world. After a long time of being starved of Wizarding World content, this game is a breath of fresh air.
Keep your chin up if you're on PC though as while Hogwarts Legacy may look graphically imposing, its system requirements aren't that demanding for a brand-new game as we've listed below.
