Do you want to know all the differences between Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 and PS5? Attention centered around Hogwarts Legacy keeps growing and won’t subside anytime soon. And this is not surprising because there are tens of millions of fans of the cult series of books and films by JK Rowling, and everyone was looking forward to the opportunity to immerse themselves in the study of the magical world. But that’s why every detail, including the differences between the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game, is essential to fans. Well, there is a lot to discuss on this topic, and our guide list and explain all the differences between Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 and PS5.
PS4 & PS5: Hogwarts Legacy Differences Explained
First, it is worth noting that there are not so many differences between PS4 and PS5. Both console versions provide players with the same visual settings, game stories, and quest chains. In addition, pre-ordering the game on PS4 and PS5 will reward you with the same bundle consisting of the following rewards:
- Felix Felicis Potion recipe
- The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop quest
So this is rather bad news for Xbox and Nintendo Switch users who won’t get such a generous pre-order reward.
However, there are still several differences between Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 and PS5, and below we will list them and explain in detail about each of them.
Differences | PS4 | PS5 |
Date Release | April 4, 2023 | February 10, 2023 |
Cost | $59.99 / $79.99 | $69.99 / $79.99 |
Date Release Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 & PS5
As unfortunate as it may be for PS4 users, PS5 players will be able to enjoy the gameplay much sooner. If you’re playing on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC, you’ll be able to enjoy the game as early as February 10, 2023. It’s no secret that new-generation consoles and PCs get all new releases before the rest, so there’s nothing to be done about it. If you’re playing on PS4 or Xbox One, you’ll have to wait until April 4 for the game’s release. But it’s still not as bad as Nintendo Switch users who won’t be able to dive into the world of magic until July 25.

Cost for PS4 and PS5
The cost is the last place on the list of differences. If you have one of the console versions, you are unlikely to buy a new console to save a couple of dollars on the game. However, this price difference is still present, and we cannot but mention it. As we said earlier, the Hogwarts Legacy standard edition will cost $69.99 on PS5 and $59.99 on PS4. The $10 difference is relatively reasonable because the game will not be as popular as on the release day. In addition, PS4 players have been waiting patiently and deserve a small discount. But if you decide to buy Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition, the price will be the same for both PS4 and PS5 – $79.99.
Hogwarts Legacy will be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 10, for PS4 and Xbox One on April 4, and for Nintendo Switch on July 25.
