Nintendo Switch 2 gamers can score a major discount on the Switch 2 Edition of Hogwarts Legacy using a special trick, but only for a limited time. The open-world RPG based on the beloved Harry Potter universe has seen fan and critical acclaim since its debut in early 2023, set long before the time of Harry and friends’ adventures. Hogwarts Legacy stood as the best-selling game in its launch year and was nominated for multiple awards, even receiving a nomination for a Grammy Award. Hogwarts Legacy was also among the games to receive a nice upgrade on Nintendo’s newest platform.

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 saw not only plenty of new games but a variety of upgrades for different Switch titles. Nintendo has released multiple “Switch 2 Editions” of Switch games, with the $10 USD upgrade packs improving performance and sometimes adding new content. The improved versions are not limited to first-party Nintendo games as well, with third-party games like Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and No Man’s Sky receiving updates for the new hardware. Now, fans can save big for a limited time on Hogwarts Legacy‘s Switch 2 version.

Hogwarts Legacy Had a Major Impact on Wizarding World Games

The overwhelming success of Hogwarts Legacy made a huge impact on the Wizarding World’s presence in video games. The game’s success would lead to Warner Bros. pushing its Portkey Games label into more games, launching Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions in 2024. Hogwarts Legacy frequently saw requests from fans for more DLC content for the game, with the RPG only receiving the “Dark Arts Pack” as a bonus for its premium editions. Warner Bros. did reportedly have a story expansion in the works for Hogwarts Legacy, though it was eventually shelved before an official announcement.

While Warner Bros and Portkey Games have not officially confirmed a sequel, rumors have begun to swirl around another Hogwarts Legacy game. New job listings from Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software hinted at the possibility of a new game in the works, with the positions having eerily similar qualifications to listings for the first game. Fans have also heavily requested a plethora of features to be included in a new Hogwarts Legacy sequel, particularly mentioning Quidditch as one of the biggest exclusions from the original game. The newest Hogwarts Legacy sale gives even more fans a chance to try out the beloved game as discussion of a sequel begins to ramp up.
