Nintendo Switch 2 version Hogwarts Legacy Will include clearer visuals, faster load times, and use these brand new mouse controls.
As proven in the new comparison trailer, players in the original game must sit on the loading screen as players enter and exit Hogsmeade, the Switch 2 version allows players to seamlessly transition from zone to zone.
This is not all. Playing on Nintendo Switch 2 also improves frame rates, textures, shadows, and even color saturation for Hogwarts and its surroundings – you can see it for yourself in the trailer below:
As for the mouse control? We are also very interested. At the moment, though, developer Warner Bros. is not ready to extend this, but we wonder if we can use the new mouse feature during the spelling process.
Much like other switch 1 gamesplayers who have Hogwarts Legacy on OG systems will be able to upgrade to a new, improved version for $10.
