We've finally got some new screenshots of Hogwarts Legacy running on Nintendo Switch, and let's just say it loo🎃ks about as good as you were probably expecting.

It's been a long time coming, but Hogwarts Legacy is now just a few weeks away from releasing on Nintendo Switch. Initially releasing on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X/S, PC, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 in February 2023, before then coming to last-gen consoles (PS4 & Xbox One) in May, Switch players will have had to wait until November 14 to finally get their invitation to Hogwarts. Luckily for them, the wai༒t is almost over. But unluckily, one of the harsh realities of playing a game designed for current-gen on an older console it that you're likely to take a dip in graphical quality.

We've seen this a lot over 🎃the years, and the wizarding world is no exception. As you can see from the tweet below, the quality of Hogwarts Legacy's visuals has dipped quite a lot on Nintendo Switch - which is understandable considering it doesn't have the same power behind it as other current-gen consoles. 

Shortly after the new screenshots were released (which you can see for yourself on ) fans were quick to compare the game on its different platforms. Surprisingly, a lot of people think it's a solid Switch port and have praised developer Avalanche Software for taking its time on the project - similar to how they reacted to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Hogwarts Legacy PS4 port

"Interested how it’ll look handheld with the frame rate being the deal breaker," one user on has said, "If the framerate is stable it’d be a pretty good experience," another has added. Unsurprisingly, there's also been a lot of memes shared about how the ✤up🔯coming Switch port looks - including PS1 Hagrid - which you can see for yourself below. 

If you've had your fill of Hogwarts Legacy, there are a ton of other games that might be up your (Diagon) alley. First up, we've got magical co-op roguelike, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spells & Secrets, which will have you teaming up with friends to defend Greifenstein wizard school. There's also the mystical management sim, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spellcaster University, that'll let players decide whether they want to run their own version of Hogwarts or a black magic academy. Both games ar🌞e also coming to Switch later this year/next year. 

The release of Hogwarts Legacy has been the subject of criticism and debate due to J.K. Rowling's public stance on gender identity, which continues to challenge the inclusivity at the heart of the Harry Potter community. Here is our explainer on the澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: Hogwarts Legacy controversy.  

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before🌄 being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Ent🉐ertainment team every now and then.
