Hogwarts Legacy fans amazed by Harry Potter RPG’s Switch performance

It’s always a risk when open-world adventures come out on different consoles. Although many of us love the Nintendo Switch, myself included, it can struggle when handling large games; it’s part of the reasonHogwarts Legacyfans have been worrying. That worry is misplaced, though, as the Switch’s performance of the RPG has exceeded expectations.

Having been around since 2017 with no real update save for the OLED version, theSwitchis getting on in console years. And although there are various rumours about when its successor will be released, there’s nothing tangible for us to work with. Consequently, we’re all just holding on, hoping and praying that the Switch can pull through for us once more.

It’s almost time for the Switch version, so make sure to watch theHogwarts Legacylaunch trailer!

AfterMortal Kombat 1’s shoddy performanceon the Switch, resulting in fans slamming the game for the port, it’s understandable thatHogwarts Legacyplayers were concerned. But a gameplay leak on the small but mighty handheld console has amazed fans. Sadly, much of the footage has been removed over on Reddit, which sucks for anyone yet to see it, however, hopefully, the surprise and positivity from fans will prove the wait has been worth it.

WithHogwarts Legacylooking “better” than anyone could have imagined, the fandom is eager for 14 November to hurry up. However, a word to the wise from one cautiousSteamDeck player, “Just to be clear as a Steam Deck player, I was like ‘this isn’t so bad’ on the intro portion, then was like ‘….oh’ after getting to the castle.”

Theycontinued, “It had gotten a bit better after a few settings tweaks and performance updates though, so it’s possible/probable the Switch version is good there as well out of the box. I just wanted to put that out as a caveat though that the intro area isn’t the most thorough stress test.”
