How to play Hogwarts Legacy early

Players who purchase Hogwarts Legacy are in for a special surprise. The game, which will be released next month, adds a special offer for some players that will allow them to access the game before its official release. So you can play the game early.

Hogwarts Legacy puts players in the robes of a fifth year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and hits all the classic beats of the novels and films. Players can choose which of the four houses they live in (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin), attend classes, and cast spells. Portkey Games released a new trailer to celebrate the game’s February release.

According to the game’s pre-order page, players who pre-order the Deluxe or Collectors Editions of Hogwarts Legacy will be able to play the game a whopping 72 hours ahead of everyone else. This offer is valid for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC players only.

While there are likely many players who are passionate about Hogwarts Legacy and want to explore the game early with this special offer, the game is not without controversy.

As reported by Forbes, there is a lot of debate about the game following the story of Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s transphobic comments. According to the game’s FAQ, the author is not involved in the creation of the game, but it takes place in the universe she created.
