hogwarts-legacy.png

A new Hogwarts Legacy update has been released today on all platforms, which is to say, on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Alongside the update, developer Avalanche Software has provided patch notes that not only reveal, but detail everything the June 2 update has done to the game. Unfortunately, the update — which is the game’s sixth update so far — does not have any new conntent nor does it add any new features. In fact, there’s not a single change that is all that significant, however, all the smaller changes and fixes add up to noticeably improve the game for many.ย

Unfortunately, while we have the patch notes — which can be viewed below — we do not have any information about the file size of the update on any given platform, which means we can’t offer any concrete insight into how long it may take to download.

Below, you can check out the patch notes, which Avalanche Software divided into two sections. More specifically, there are patch notes specific to PS4 and Xbox One version of the gameand patch notes specific to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC version of the game.
