Hogwarts Legacy system requirements are quite demanding, so you'll want to prepare your gaming PC for the Harry Potter RPG. If you're planning on using cheap and cheerful hardware, you'll need something equivalent to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960, an entry-level GPU capable of handling 1080p low settings. If you prefer to play with high presets enabled, you'll need to upgrade to something like the GTX 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT.
The developer also provides separate Hogwarts Legacy PC features to play with Ultra settings enabled , and recommendations include the RTX 2080 Ti and Radeon RX 6800 XT. Aiming to play in 4K rather than 1440p? To do this, you'll need the best graphics card money can buy , the Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti or the shiny new AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT from Avalanche Game.
Avalanche Games says you should use a PC with at least 16GB of RAM, but you'll need to bump things up to 32GB to enable Ultra settings or play in 4K. Finally, you'll need to free up at least 85GB of storage to download Hogwarts Legacy , and the developer recommends using an SSD instead of a traditional hard drive.
