Hogwarts Legacy system requirements

Can I run Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy system requirements are pretty demanding, so you'll want to prepare your gaming PC for the Harry Potter RPG. If you're planning on using a cheap and cheerful rig, you'll need something on par with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 - an entry-level GPU that can handle 1080p low settings to hit the Hogwarts Legacy minimum requirements. If you'd rather play with high presets enabled, you'll need to upgrade to something like the GTX 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT for the Hogwarts Legacy recommended specs.

Avalanche Games says you should use a PC with at least 16GB RAM, but you'll need to ramp things up to 32GB to enable Ultra settings or play at 4K. Lastly, you'll need to free up at least 85GB of storage to download Hogwarts Legacy, and the developer advises using an SSD over a traditional hard drive.

The developer also provides separate Hogwarts Legacy PC requirements for playing with Ultra settings enabled, and recommendations include the RTX 2080 Ti and Radeon RX 6800 XT. Aiming to play at 4K rather than 1440p? To do so, you'll need the best graphics card money can buy, with Avalanche Game's suggesting either an Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti or the shiny new AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.

Hogwarts Legacy size - How big is Hogwarts Legacy?
