I wouldn't know this game existed if not for internet drama.

Xbox Series X via the digital deluxe edition.

Just curious, but why would you do that for a singleplayer game?

 

[bodine1231]

Just got a 4090, PC all the way!

Trophy hunting and bragging is seriously the lamest addiction to have on games we talk to each other about.

 

[MoneySings]

Waiting for reviews to drop - isn't it today (Monday)?

Probably on PS5 - my gaming laptop will probably run super hot.

 

[Paasei]

I will decide later today once the reviews are in.

 

[Lord Malachite]

PS5 it's where I play pretty much everything that isn't PC or Xbox/PC exclusive.

 

[BadBurger]

PS5.

 

[Doctor Hades]

PC for the deluxe digital edition, where I will be playing as a male character in Gryffindor, and PS5 (standard physical disc release), where I will play as a female character in Slytherin or Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (I haven't decided yet).

That sounds stupid af to buy Hogwarts Legacy multiple times on multiple
platforms when the game is sp, but enjoy.

 

[mxbison]

Don't know yet if I'll get it but probably PS5 if the performance is the same.

Prefer trophies over achievements.

 

[Lyrical]

Loaded on my PS5. Won’t be able to play until tomorrow evening unfortunately.

 

[Ic3man]

Where I can get the best graphics and performance, PC

 

[SCB3]

Xbox Series X - kinda had to as my Wife owns only that, I wanted the PS5 version

As a side note, can I not upgrade to the deluxe version? I pre ordered the Normal one but I cannot see an option now to upgrade to play early

 

[Desless1]

Yup, another great use case for the Xbox Series X. My platform.

 

[ikbalCO]

Ps5. Waiting for preload

 

[MikeM]

If he wants to buy it 10 times and trophy/achievement hunt on all platforms, then cool. He can spend his money as he sees fit.

For those wondering how the PC version runs, albeit on top end hardware:




PC it is for me.

Doesnt look significantly different to all the console gameplay weve seen. Ive got it on both PC and PS5, think ill mainline it on PS5

 

[IDKFA]

PS5 here.

I don't think anyone rational was expecting it to look markedly different on PC vs Console.

good shout, but the IQ and frames will be bloody nice no doubt.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Series X as my ps5 is too bulky for the entertainment center.

 

[The Skull]

PC or PS5. I'll wait to see how it runs on a build similar to mine (5700 XT and 3700X) and what the performance is like on PS5.

 

[Snake29]

This is a couch game, so PS5 it is.

40fps on 4090?!!!! Ooof

 

[Kvally]

Playing on Xbox Series X. Pretty pumped.

 

[GHG]

40fps on 4090?!!!! Ooof

At native 4k with all RT turned on.

Every dev has to start somewhere to get experience, also remember the studio dramatically staffed up for this game.

I am happy to say they exceeded my expectations, given those review scores. How cool is that? Congrats not-Avalanche!

 

[Moriah20]

ps5, probably. Its a bit sad - my pc is technically more powerful (rtx 3070) but some recent pc ports are pretty ass, and this game seems like a bit of a gamble on that front from the pc impressions.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Just remember, before GTA Rockstar North made Lemmings.

How cool is it that not-Avalanche seems to have nailed it? Awesome to see

 

[yazenov]

Damn the platform split is surprising.

Few people are buying the game on Xbox. Is it the Game Pass effect of waiting for games to come to the service instead of buying? Or they are joining our friends at REEE in boycotting this game.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Having built a nice gaming PC in december, I find myself wondering which platform I should buy my games on?
I am PS5 player as well and have really enjoyed and found myself relaxing more when playing on PS5 than PC.

I love the Dualsense and in many cases it decides what platform I play on, DSX and DS4W are not up to scratch as native support and quite often can be fiddly to configure for PC so I dont see it as a viable equal.

I am curious which way people are going for HW:L PC will of course allow for higher frame rates and pin sharp visuals but no trophy support, lack of DS features (at least unconfirmed for now) and the lack of the cosy, ease of play on console which way are people going?

PC brother it's pretty much always PC although I do own all consoles.

Questionable PC ports does not make it the slam dunk it used to be.

 

[oji-san]

PS5

 

[Dusktildawn48]

*cross posting

Wife (Series x, performance mode) and I (series s, balanced mode) have been playing for 2 hours. Game looks significantly better on the X. And oh yeah, this games gonna sell massively!

 

[3liteDragon]

The PS Quintuple.

[rofif]

Lol my face looking at pc port videos so far

Those that don't have stinking IQ, input lag, frame rate, controls or just the ones with significant stutters?

 

[Timexy]

Me: PS5
Wife: XSX through Remote Play because both consoles are connected to the same TV in the living room and I dont feel like moving it to the bedroom

Yeah, I had to buy it twice...

 

[Airbus Jr]

Im getting it latter remastered on PS6 and Xbox Naruto

 

[Flabagast]

PSA: I only just today realized that this is being developed by Avalanche Software--not Avalanche Studios Group.

Avalanche Studios Group = Just Cause, Mad Max, Rage 2

Avalanche Software = Disney shovelware titles

My hype =

Just Cause, Mad Max & Rage are utter shit though. Avalanche Studios never had a game with a metacritic as high as Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[ARK1391]

Still deciding between PS5 and PC. Dualsense is worth it to play on PS5. But I've seen complaints about how close the camera is to the character, so if there is good ultrawide support, I may get it on PC.

Either way I'm waiting a day or two to see what's what. Stoked to play it though! So happy the early reviews are glowing with praise!
