Hogwarts Legacy: Unleashed on Switch 2 with Mouse Control Magic!

Summary

  • Hogwarts Legacy, a best-selling Harry Potter action-RPG, is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 with improved graphics.
  • The Switch 2 version will also support mouse controls.
  • There doesn’t appear to be an upgrade path for existing Hogwarts Legacy owners on Switch 1.

In 2023, the blockbuster action-RPG set in the Harry Potter universe, Hogwarts Legacy, is slated to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 upon the console’s launch on June 5. When it initially debuted, Hogwarts Legacy proved to be a commercial triumph, selling more than 30 million copies globally and receiving rave reviews from critics, making it an undeniably successful game.

A significant factor behind the strong commercial success of Hogwarts Legacy is that it was widely accessible on almost every significant gaming platform. Though initially available only on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, the game was later adapted for PS4, Xbox One, and even the original Nintendo Switch. However, playing Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch currently offers a suboptimal experience due to necessary adjustments to run smoothly on Nintendo’s hybrid console. This might make the forthcoming Switch 2 port of the game intriguing for Nintendo gamers.

Hogwarts Legacy was unveiled as one of the games launching alongside the Nintendo Switch 2, during the latest Nintendo Direct broadcast. The new console version of this game promises to surpass the original Switch release in terms of graphics, offering a seamless gaming experience without any load screens dividing different areas of the game world. Additionally, it has been confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch 2 will incorporate mouse controls, providing players with a fresh approach to playing the game.

Hogwarts Legacy is Coming to Switch 2

By eliminating loading times, Hogwarts Legacy’s open world can display its brilliance comparable to that on PS5 and Xbox Series X. This should be a significant enhancement for Nintendo gamers. Regrettably, there appears to be no straightforward upgrade path for the game on Switch 2. The game isn’t marketed as a “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition,” suggesting that players may need to purchase it at full price. While this might seem disappointing, those who haven’t experienced the original game on Nintendo Switch 2 could find it enticing enough to buy.
