Hogwarts Legacy fans furious over free download

A recent free download forHogwarts Legacyhas managed to do more harm than good, leaving legions of fans really quite annoyed. It’s not hard to see why.

Since releasing back in February theHarry PotterRPG has absolutely dominated, and loomsall set to the be the biggest(but definitelynot the best) video game of 2023. Certainly, there’snowayHogwarts Legacyis competingwith the likes ofBaldur’s Gate 3andThe Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdomcome GOTY season. But that doesn’t mean you can’t check it out if you’re curious.

PlayStationusers looking to get their sweaty little hands onHogwarts Legacycan do so right now via a free trial period. Just be aware this isn’t for everyone - one multiple levels.

Alas,Hogwarts Legacyhas now been added to this scheme, and the amount of time you get with the game is so minuscule that most players aren’t even bothering with the download.

While all of the timed demos available via PS Plus Premium are fairly short, users are pretty pissed at the idea of having just 45 minutes to get a feel forHogwarts Legacy. For comparison, you can play an hour ofThe Last Of Us Part Iand five hours ofCyberpunk 2077. 45 minutes ofHogwarts Legacyjust barely covers the opening sequence and character creator.

“45min? You don’t even get to Hogwarts in that time,” one Redditor complained.

“45 minutes? Won’t bother to download for that,” another added.

I guess if you’re absolutely desperate to check outHogwarts Legacyand already have a PlayStation Plus subscription you might as well check this out, but I wouldn’t upgrade to Premium specifically for this.
