Avalanche Software has just released a new title update for Hogwarts Legacy. According to the release notes, the June 5 patch is 55 GB on PC and brings content to the game that was exclusive to PlayStation consoles. So, let’s take a closer look.
The June 5 update unlocks the Haunted Shop mission. As said, this mission was previously exclusive to Sony consoles. So it’s pretty cool that we can finally experience it. Well, that is if the game is still installed on your system. It also makes all special items and cosmetics available to everyone. This includes the Onyx Hyppogriff mount, the Felix Felicis potion, and the Shopkeeper Cosmetic set.
Additionally, this update adds a photo mode. This mode will allow players to capture screenshots of their Hogwarts Legacy experience and all of their newly unlocked cosmetics. I’ve never been a fan of photo mode in games, but that’s just me. Note that photo mode will become available after completing the mission to access the field guide.
And there’s more. This update also includes some changes and fixes just for PC players. It updates NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS to their latest versions. Unfortunately, AMD FSR is still in version 2.0. The update also cleans up unwanted semi-translucent meshes in BVH for Ray Tracing. Additionally, this fixes an issue where colors would suddenly change when moving the camera in Hogsmeade.
Overall, this latest update is a welcome addition. The previous patch for this game was released in June 2023. So it’s pretty cool to see such an update a year later.
Speaking of Hogwarts Legacy, you can also try the following mods. In theory, they should be compatible with the latest version of the game. So you can download a really cool VR Mod. Next we have this multiplayer mod which is still in early access. Ah, the beauty of paid mods. Additionally, you can find a mod that lets you play as Harry Potter. Next we have this amazing first person mod. And finally, you can download this Accurate Dialogue Choices mod.
As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its full changelog.
