Last update: 09 February 2023
On this page of the Hogwarts Legacy guide, we answer the question - why can't you play the game at launch on PS4 and Xbox One. We explain why, despite pre-ordering the game, it won't start.
Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 and Xbox One
The game will be released on several platforms. In addition to PC, PS5 and Xbox S/X, it will also come out on PS4 and Xbox One. However, those playing on older generation consoles must be patient. The game will be released on these platforms on April 4, 2023. Nintendo Switch users will wait even longer - until July 25, 2023. More information on release dates can be found on the dedicated page in our guide.
However, Deluxe and Collector's Edition will be available for older generation consoles. Pre-ordering these editions does not give you early access. We have covered this topic in detail on the Game editions page.
