It otherwise includes some additional cosmetic items, such as The Glasses That Lived (eyewear inspired by big Harry himself), the Azkaban Prisoner’s outfit and coat, the Felix Felicis potion recipe, Lavender Borealis Broom, and an Onyx Hippogriff Mount.

Community manager Chandler Wood previously took to social media to tell fans to “set expectations” for the update, which many hoped would be more akin to an expansion with a wealth of new content instead of just an additional collection of useful features and fun items.

Hogwarts Legacy was the bestselling game in the U.S. in 2023 and sold 22 million copies worldwide. Its success has been mixed with controversy due to its connection to Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling though, who has been outspoken in her anti-transgender views.

In our 9/10 review, IGN said: “In almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter role-playing game [we’ve] always wanted to play.”
