Is Hogwarts Legacy an MMO or RPG?

Is Hogwarts Legacy early access cross platform?

Those who pre order the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition will get 72 hours of early access gameplay.

This means that those on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms will be able to enjoy the game from February 7th, 2023.

Even those on the PS4 and Xbox One will be able to enjoy Hogwarts Legacy early access. The game will launch on these platforms together on April 4th, 2023.

Is Hogwarts Legacy crossplay?

The question of crossplay falls in line with our page on Hogwarts Legacy’s suspected multiplayer options. No, Hogwarts Legacy is a single-player experience only.

There is no online multiplayer or co-op action, so the game will not feature crossplay. Unfortunately, whilst Avalanche and Portkey Games are looking to bring the game to as many poeple as possible, through PlayStation, Xbox, PC and even the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch too, we don’t think this means bridging the gap between players to play together.

The highly anticipated game will launch across multiple gameplay platforms, ranging from PlayStation and Xbox to Windows PC and Nintendo Switch. As such, many players are wondering if Hogwarts Legacy will support cross-progression functionality.

Likewise, based on what we know so far, Hogwarts Legacy won’t support cross-progression either, meaning you can’t switch out your console and continue from where you left off previously.
