After its successful launch and a year of impressive sales, Hogwarts Legacy is now available for its lowest price yet. This gives fans of the Wizarding World a great chance to explore its open-world setting. The game, developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games, is currently priced at just $12 as part of a Steam “Back to Hogwarts” promotion. This marks an 80% decrease from its original retail price of $60. Previously, the lowest discount was 75%, which lowered the price to $15. The sale also includes other related titles, like the Harry Potter Collection and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which are also discounted.
Released in February 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with versions for older consoles and the Nintendo Switch arriving later, Hogwarts Legacy quickly became a major success. It was the best-selling game of 2023, selling over 22 million units and receiving praise for its faithful adaptation of the beloved franchise. It has an average critic score of 84 on OpenCritic, reflecting positive feedback from the gaming press. This new price on Steam makes the game more accessible, especially for those waiting for a better deal.
While Hogwarts Legacy is now mostly viewed as a complete experience, as the developers have moved on to other projects, recent rumors about a sequel have surfaced. Earlier this year, reports indicated that a planned DLC for the first game was canceled, with Avalanche Software instead focusing on a follow-up title. Although Hogwarts Legacy 2 is still a few years away due to the long development times for open-world games, job listings at Warner Bros. Games suggest new features may be in the works. One listing for a writer with experience in “screenwriting and branching dialogue” has led to speculation that the sequel could include more complex, player-driven stories.
Other unverified reports from job ads indicate that Hogwarts Legacy 2 may see significant changes over time, possibly moving beyond the seasonal shifts of the original game. While these details should be viewed with caution, they hint at the possible plans for the next installment. This sale on the original game offers a perfect chance for newcomers to get acquainted with the Hogwarts Legacy universe before more solid information about the sequel is revealed.
