Hogwarts Legacy is now available on PC, and you will probably need to do a lot of settings tinkering to get it running well.

5 hours into the game, so far performance has been pretty spotty. In hogwarts it’s 60 locked ultra settings. In mead town it was crazy all over the place. Lots of world clipping as well and fast travel takes about 5 seconds.

I assume they aren’t leveraging the tech in for quick loads. The magic is cool, albeit not very impactful yet it fits for the world we are in. Not a fan of the transitions between opening doors as it really slows down a lot.

All in all though in the performance side it’s playable for sure. Just trying to get to the open world though as the first 5 hours is really dragged down by a lot of dialogue and side missions

As i stated before I upgraded from a 3070 to a 4090 and the game still suffers from major fps drops, especially in hogsmead where i get lows of 20fps to high of 60ish. the game doesn't stutter as much though unlike on my 3070 and i suspect it's because I now have a ridiculous 24gb of vram available to brute force the game. Something is definitely wrong with how the engine uses gpu memory or maybe even ram.

Can confirm this, still plenty of problems with the game. We are on 4090 + 5800X3D and using 4K120hz including frame generation. The FPS can drop to mid 70s (causing FG show erroneous frames) and increase to 120fps in an instant, depending on the area. This game has not been fully optimized yet, but it can be played quite enjoyably if you are not a pixed peeping FPS hog. As I have become the latter, I'll be playing it personally later once it's patched, but wife doesn't mind going through it as is. I also find the game very washed out in both SDR and HDR, albeit latter is better.

Couldn't go 2 sentences without bringing up JK Rowling's viewpoints (which are now acknowledged and supported by the UK Supreme Court). Time for all the "progressive" whiners to latch back on to reality.

Playstation owners buy games.

Strange seeing Hogwarts there as I downloaded it for my son from PS Plus a couple of days ago.

Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.

Bathyj22d ago

Not really. It's directly contributed to having the healthiest console and ecosystem. Not really debatable.

The alternative is a console platform holder whose least important customers are the ones who own their console. That's why it's Microsoft games studios now not Xbox in all but name.

Microsoft needs PlayStation, PC and Nintendo players now more than they need Xbox players. They're a dying breed.

Not really. That's why Xbox is going under consoles wise. PS gamers purchase stuff that's why console and game sales are always high. Xbox gamers want games for 'free' on gamepass and to enter at the lowest price point (series s)

@InUrFoxHole said “Playstation owners buy games? That's a wild badge of honor my boy.”

This Tuesday after The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was finally revealed I saw a tonne of conversation on X/Twitter of people gleefully mocking PS5 owners who said they were buying the game, as they were getting it for free with Game Pass. Yes, that’s great value for people with a Game Pass subscription - but do you still not see how it has impacted the Xbox hardware platform? It’s the reason Indiana Jones and Oblivion and Forza Horizon 5 aren’t exclusive anymore.

ravens5222d ago

InUrFoxHole, its wild that you think that's wild lmao. 🤯. You buy your food from the grocery store?? Ugggh. You should get Factor. Who pays for food anymore when you can pay a subscription to receive food for "free". Disgusting.

Sound stupid? It is.

@Bathy
That's some cope there. You think the healthiest console is the one that doesn't even provide their gamers with their exclusive games? That crazy talk man. The healthiest is Nintendo and that's 💯 not even a debate. MS provides gamers with games. Sony provides you with MS games. Enjoy

@andy
You have broke brain. Gamepass isn't free. It's a sub service. Jesus n4g knows how to pick'em

andy8522d ago

@InUrFoxHole notice I put free in ' ' these? Doesn't take a genius. Every game that comes out on Xbox you'll see this comment "is this coming to gamepass".

2nd on the charts for a game such as Indy ain’t great.
Releasing half year after xbox version probably cooled off some demand.

This is a very good game, deserves the best chance to do well.

badz14922d ago

The real great performer here is Astrobot. keeping that rate of sales for a last year's game that is not GTAV, CoD and FIFA (now Hogwarts too). outselling MH Wilds and EA FC is kinda wild for Astrobot!

dveio22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Hogwart's, Indiana, Astro Bot & Monster Hunter - that's a pretty nice top 4 once again.

I bet MachineGames are quite happy about the sales pouring in.
