The upcoming May 5th release of the open-world action-role-playing game “Hogwarts Legacy” is highly anticipated, especially since it is set in the enchanting universe of Harry Potter. The game has experienced several delays, but it will finally be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. It was initially launched on the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X last February, where it received great acclaim and success. As a result, it has become one of the most significant video game releases of 2023.
Initially, “Hogwarts Legacy” was intended to be released as a cross-generation game, with its PS4 and Xbox One versions launching simultaneously with their next-gen counterparts. Unfortunately, the release of the last-gen editions was delayed twice – from February to April, then from April to May – much to the disappointment of Harry Potter fans who have yet to acquire the latest gaming hardware.

Barring any unforeseen hiccups, the “Hogwarts Legacy” PS4 and Xbox One version will be released on May 5th. This will enable millions of players to experience the game and possibly help to boost its sales, as it has already been dominating the charts since its debut earlier this year. The accessibility of the game to a broader audience could significantly impact its sales numbers, considering that many players own older gaming consoles and have not yet upgraded to the latest ones.
While the release of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms could mean good news for the game’s sales performance, there are still concerns about the last-gen ports. Since they have not been displayed in action yet, there is a possibility that they will not be optimized effectively. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions can take advantage of the newer consoles’ improved hardware, enabling lightning-fast loading times, which would otherwise be tedious, especially in tasks like fast-traveling. Unfortunately, this won’t be possible on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
One potential obstacle for “Hogwarts Legacy” on PS4 and Xbox One is the expansive open-world gameplay, and it’s uncertain whether these consoles can handle the game’s demands. However, it’s possible that the PS4 and Xbox One versions will perform well, making May 5th an even more exciting day for fans of the game. We’ll have to wait and see how it plays out, but players on these consoles won’t have to wait much longer to experience it firsthand.
The May 5th release of “Hogwarts Legacy” on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is only one part of the game’s release plans. A Nintendo Switch version of the game is also on its way, but it won’t be available until July 25th. As it stands, “Hogwarts Legacy” is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions set to launch on May 5th, and the Nintendo Switch edition arriving on July 25th.
