First Hogwarts Legacy Screenshots Appear For The Nintendo Switch

WB Bros. Games' spin on the Wizarding World franchise releases for Switch on November 14.

Story Highlights

  • Hogwarts Legacy has turned out to be one of the biggest releases of 2023, bringing to the table the first-ever AAA-grade game that’s based on the Harry Potter extended franchise. 
  • Although the game has been released for a multitude of platforms already, tracing its release back to the start of this year, the action RPG has yet to launch for the Nintendo Switch. 
  • Now that we’re nearing the November 14 landing day of Hogwarts Legacy for the Switch, the listing for the game on the official Nintendo Store has been updated with in-game screenshots. 

Nintendo Switch fans will be able to get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy — one of 2023’s mega-releases sporting the open-world RPG genre — next month when the game makes landfall at long last. But before that, take a look at some of its in-game screenshots that have been updated alongside the game’s official listing on the Nintendo Store. A total of six images have been uploaded.

Another facet of the game that was picked up by fans from the Nintendo Store is that the listing mentions a 6.8 GB file size for Hogwarts Legacy. That’s a lot less than what the game’s other editions on the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam comprise as their base size, which is somewhere around 80 GB. There is going to be a catch to this, and it’s most likely to come in the form of graphical diminutions. 

Although the prospect is exciting for Switch fans, it’s worth mentioning that the Nintendo Switch has been subject to harsh critique as far as some of its recent video game releases are concerned. For starters, Mortal Kombat 1 has upset Switch fans over severely downgraded visuals. That is to the point where it’s easy to notice the drastic lack of polish and visual optimization for the Switch version of the fighter title. 

Mortal Kombat 1 is an otherwise great game, packing a bigger and better punch than last time and putting up a highly engaging storyline as well, but as far as its performance on the Nintendo Switch is concerned, there’s not a lot to write home about, sadly. The fact that higher quality games require better hardware is one of the causes of the Switch underperforming, thus the need for a next-gen Nintendo console.

Hogwarts Legacy was released on February 10, 2023, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In May, the action RPG was ported to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well.
