New details have emerged about the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy, including technical specifications and new features. Scheduled as a launch title for the Switch 2 on June 5, the enhanced port promises a range of improvements. Fans of the Harry Potter-inspired RPG can expect a more polished experience, taking advantage of the new hardware’s capabilities.
Since its 2023 release, Hogwarts Legacy has become a major commercial success, selling over 34 million copies and generating $850 million in its first two weeks alone. Its arrival on Switch 2 is expected to push those numbers even higher. Alongside Hogwarts Legacy, other titles like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Split Fiction, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut will also debut on the console’s launch day, with fans eager to compare performance improvements.
According to a Japanese press release, the Switch 2 version will run at 1440p when docked and 1080p in handheld mode, with HDR support and DLSS upscaling. The game will feature no loading screens in open-world traversal, along with enhanced visuals like better lighting and anti-aliasing. Notably, mouse controls will also be supported. Meanwhile, a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is rumored to be in development, possibly with online multiplayer elements—sparking mixed reactions and even a petition from fans opposed to live-service features.
