The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy promises to deliver an enhanced gaming experience with sharper visuals, faster loading times, and innovative mouse controls. A newly released comparison teaser trailer showcases these improvements, highlighting how players can now transition seamlessly between areas like Hogsmeade without the need for loading screens, a feature that was present in the original game.
The enhancements don't stop there. The Switch 2 version boasts improved frame rates, enhanced textures, more detailed shadows, and richer color saturation throughout Hogwarts and its surroundings. You can witness these upgrades in the trailer below:
The introduction of mouse controls has sparked curiosity among fans. Although developer Warner Bros. has kept details under wraps, there's speculation that these controls might enhance spell-casting mechanics.
Similar to other games on the original Switch, owners of Hogwarts Legacy can upgrade to this new, enhanced version for just $10.
Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, action-packed, open-world RPG set in the 1800s wizarding world. Players start as a fifth-year student, exploring both new and familiar locations, discovering magical beasts, crafting potions, mastering spell casting, upgrading talents, and customizing their character to become the witch or wizard they've always dreamed of being. The game will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the console's launch day, June 5.
Our experience with Hogwarts Legacy was exceptional, as reflected in our IGN Hogwart's Legacy review, where we awarded it a 9/10, stating: "in almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG [we've] always wanted to play."
