Those planning on playing Hogwarts Legacy on PC may be curious about the game’s minimum and recommended specs, and rightly so considering the hardware bloat that’s come along over the past year or so.
Luckily, the minimum specs for Hogwarts Legacy aren’t too steep, and even the specs for ultra settings at 4k are reasonable compared to most other AAA titles on PC these days. Let’s go over what you’re going to need hardware-wise for the upcoming Harry Potter game.
