The mega-hit open-world action RPG set in the Wizarding World is getting polished to a shine.
Hogwarts Legacy launched in a reasonably decent state—ray-tracing performance problems aside. The game was fully completable and had no common crash or progression-stop bugs, which is sadly above the bar for a new AAA title these days. That’s not to say the game was flawless, though; like any big game release, Hogwarts Legacy had numerous bugs that needed patching.Fortunately, developer Avalanche Software is on top of things, as we now have the second major game patch with a list of fixes over four pages long for just the PC version. Unlike the first big patch, this update is also coming to the PlayStation 5 version of the game, which means it is the first major update for that platform. Of course, it’s also available for the Xbox consoles, and you’ll want to grab it there immediately.This scene in the Great Hall is almost guaranteed to cause slowdown.
That’s because this patch should resolve the performance issues that the Xbox version of the game was suffering that weren’t seen on the PlayStation release. The patch notes indicate that the Xbox Series X’s «Fidelity mode» should run at a stable 30 FPS now where it didn’t before. Some broken graphical effects should be fixed on Xbox as well, while the PlayStation version got some platform-specific improvements to character voices and lip-syncing.
