A massive summer update just dropped, and trust me, it’s not your run-of-the-mill patch. First off, the “Haunted Shop” quest, once a PlayStation exclusive, is now available to everyone across all platforms.
Yep, that’s right – Xbox, PC, and Switch players, you can finally join the spooky fun. And guess what? You also get access to all those coveted exclusive items like the Onyx Hyppogriff mount, the Felix Felicis potion, and the Shopkeeper cosmetic set.
Now you can strut around Hogwarts in style with the rest of them!
But hold onto your broomsticks, folks, because there’s even more. The devs have conjured up some brand new cosmetic items to deck out your character, and they’ve even added a new broom to your collection.
Ever fancied flying around on a Lavender Borealis? Well, now you can! And for those who have a darker aesthetic, the Azkaban-themed gear might be right up your alley.
Let’s not forget the biggest addition of them all: photo mode! You can finally capture stunning shots of Hogwarts, your character, and the magical creatures you encounter.
Want a picture of yourself riding a hippogriff over the Black Lake? Go for it! Just remember, you’ll need to unlock the field guide before you can start snapping away.
The update doesn’t stop at just new content though. Ever regretted spending your talent points on a particular skill? No worries! You can now reset them and respec your character without having to start a new game. It’s like having a do-over for your Hogwarts education!
Of course, no update would be complete without a plethora of bug fixes and improvements. The devs have been hard at work squishing glitches, refining gameplay, and enhancing the overall experience.
The Hogwarts Legacy summer update has swooped in, bringing a flurry of exciting additions and fixes that’ll have you soaring back into the wizarding world on your broom (or maybe a newly unlocked Onyx Hyppogriff!).
