Hogwarts Legacy Steam Preload Explained

According to the game’s official Twitter account, PC players can preload Hogwarts Legacy on Steam for its Early Access and global release. Previously, this mechanic was unavailable, but now the developers have fixed this issue after several players addressed their concerns on the platform.

If you do not see this option on Steam, you can restart it and check for other updates to ensure its installation. Players with other systems, such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, can also preload Hogwarts Legacy. However, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch users won’t be able to play the installment at this time since these versions received a later date.

Those who purchased the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe edition can get Early Access to play the game 72 hours before its release, so be sure to download it to get an early start. Furthermore, the game is still available to preorder if you want to claim rewards, like the Onyx Hippogriff or Felix Felicis Potion Recipe.
