Comparison video posted by a YouTube user SICO1 – Embedded below – shows how Hogwarts Legacy’s Switch graphics compare to PlayStation 5.
Another channel on YouTube, Fillposted her impressions of the Switch port on Tuesday, noting that the game “could have been a lot worse” and that the game on mobile devices in particular “runs reasonably well.”

Hogwarts Legacy was comfortably the best-selling game in Europe in the first half of 2023, selling over 12 million copies in the first two weeks after the PS5, Xbox Series
