Avalanche Software’s Hogwarts Legacy will include performance (60fps) and fidelity (30fps) graphics modes on the current-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Additionally, the game supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) with select modes on TVs and monitors that support the technology.

Hogwarts Legacy seeks to cater to gamers with different visual and performance demands with a number of graphics modes:

The PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S console versions of Hogwarts Legacy support multiple graphical modes of play, the most common of which are Fidelity mode which targets 30 fps, and Performance mode which targets 60 fps. Graphical modes for players who have Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)-supported TVs or monitors are supported for Hogwarts Legacy on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The game’s final PC system requirements for a number of different graphical qualities were revealed this week, and it does not appear to be particularly demanding for a current-year title with a 1080p-at-60fps experience achievable with 2017’s GTX 1080 Ti. However, with multiple expansive Wizarding World locations featuring in the game, occasional framerate drops are not unlikely.

Hogwarts Legacy releases on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 10, 2023. The last-gen version was recently delayed to April 4, 2023 for PS4 and Xbox One and to July 25, 2023 for Nintendo Switch.
