Avalanche Software’s wizarding epic arrives on Switch 2 with spellbinding enhancements. Leveraging the console’s tensor cores, the game achieves dynamic 1080p/60fps in handheld mode (4K/30fps docked) via DLSS-like AI upscaling. The previously compressed open world now renders at full scale, with GPU-accelerated foliage and real-time global illumination casting dynamic shadows through the Forbidden Forest. “We rebuilt Hogsmeade’s particle systems for Switch 2,” reveals Technical Director John Black. “Expect butterbeer steam, blizzard physics, and Patronus spells with no pop-in.” Exclusive features include gyroscopic spell aiming and haptic feedback for every Lumos wand flick.

Review Scoring
Step into the Wizarding World like never before in Hogwarts Legacy, a cinematic open-world action RPG set in the 1800s, long before the era of Harry Potter. As a newly accepted fifth-year student with the rare ability to harness ancient magic, you’ll shape your own destiny at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Master spellcasting, brew powerful potions, tame magical beasts, and explore a richly detailed world beyond the castle walls — including the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade Village. With deep RPG systems, branching narratives, and dynamic combat, Hogwarts Legacy is both a technical showcase and an immersive magical journey.
