Hogwarts Legacy Getting Big PS5 Pro Upgrade

Key Takeaways

  • Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 Pro showcases stunning lighting and reflection upgrades.
  • 12 other games have been confirmed to be getting PS5 Pro upgrades when the console launches in November.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro upgrade for Hogwarts Legacy has me absolutely spellbound! The visual enhancements to lighting and reflections are nothing short of magic – pun intended – and it’s truly enchanting to see such a visually stunning game come alive even more.


On the PlayStation 5 Pro, stunning renditions of Hogwarts Legacy display significant advancements in lighting and reflection effects. This game, already lauded for its visual allure, serves as an example of the improvements we can expect. The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to hit stores within two months, and Hogwarts Legacy is merely one of numerous games Sony has chosen to highlight during their anticipated launch.

The role-playing game, which is an action RPG, takes place approximately 100 years before the Harry Potter books and movies, and it debuted in early 2023. Despite some controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling, the creator of the franchise, the game was a commercial success, selling over 22 million copies during its first year on the market, with fans particularly enamored by the stunning visuals of Hogwarts Legacy.

Hogwarts Legacy is one of 13 games getting PS5 Pro upgrades at the console’s launch, alongside other 2023 classics like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2. While reports indicate that 40 to 50 other titles will be receiving major graphical upgrades, fans around the internet have already been piecing together PS5 Pro-captured images released through Digital Foundry and comparing them to game stills captured on PlayStation 5, showing off some stunning differences. In Hogwarts Legacy, this includes images of the Great Hall where students dine, with the PS5 Pro vibrantly enhancing the details of the flames on the floating candles, their reflection in the floor’s polish, and the intricacies of the stained-glass windows representing the school’s four houses. Images have also been released of the world outside the castle, revealing trees that burst into life with color and more realistic reflections in the castle’s lake.

  • Demon’s Souls

  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • The Crew Motorfest
  • The First Descendant
  • The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered

Apart from Hogwarts Legacy, another role-playing game, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, is also garnering attention due to its enhanced visuals on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Similar to Hogwarts Legacy, it’s demonstrating significant improvements in areas like water reflections and more detailed textures for skin and fur.

Although the visual enhancements on the PS5 Pro are noticeably superior to the standard PS5, its high price tag is causing dismay among many in the gaming community. Scheduled for release on November 7 at a U.S. price of $699.99, and even pricier in countries like Japan and the UK, this cost has led to Sony being ridiculed by a significant number of gamers online. However, it’s worth noting that this is less than both models of the PlayStation 3 were initially, when considering inflation, and approximately $450 cheaper than the Skytech Azure 2 gaming PC, which boasts similar specs.
