Hogwarts Legacy PC system requirements revealed

Earlier this month, Hogwarts Legacy was delayed to February 2023 in order to polish the game up and remove bugs. Despite the delay, the game's PC system requirements appear to already be set, with the minimum spec targeting 1080p/60FPS with low settings, and the recommended spec targeting 1080p/60FPS with high graphics settings. 

The Steam Store page for Hogwarts Legacy has now been updated with PC system requirements. Both the minimum and Recommended specs are very forgiving – if you've built a gaming PC since 2016, chances are you will be able to run the game pretty well.

The minimum specs call for:

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 OR AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD RX Vega 56
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 85 GB available space

The recommended PC system requirements include:

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700 OR AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD RX 5700 XT
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 85 GB available space

Since the game isn't coming out for a few more months, there is a good chance that these are preliminary, so there may be slight adjustments, but I wouldn't expect major changes. Closer to launch, I would expect to see expanded system requirements for those looking to run the game at 1440p, or perhaps 4K with ultra settings.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
