"Switch 1 Players Upgrade to Switch 2 for Enhanced Hogwarts Legacy Graphics"

Jul 23,2025 Author: Connor

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy delivers a significant upgrade, featuring enhanced visuals, quicker loading times, and support for the console’s innovative mouse controls.

As showcased in a newly released comparison teaser trailer, players who experienced the original version are familiar with the loading screens that appeared when traveling to and from Hogsmeade. The Switch 2 edition eliminates these interruptions, allowing for seamless transitions between locations.

Beyond smoother navigation, the upgrade enhances overall performance with improved frame rates, higher-quality textures, refined shadows, and richer color saturation across Hogwarts and its surrounding environments—visible in full detail in the trailer below:

Play As for the new mouse controls, details remain limited. Warner Bros., the developer, hasn’t elaborated on their full functionality yet, but speculation suggests they could play a role during spell-casting—offering a more immersive way to channel magical abilities.

Like many other titles from the original Switch era, owners of the initial Hogwarts Legacy can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version for $10.

Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, action-packed, open-world RPG set in the 1800s wizarding world. As a fifth-year student, players explore both iconic and new locations, encounter magical creatures, brew potions, master spellcasting, enhance their abilities, and customize their character to fulfill their dream of becoming a powerful witch or wizard. The game launches on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, coinciding with the console’s release.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Hogwarts Legacy, ultimately scoring it 9/10 in our IGN Hogwarts Legacy review, stating: "In almost every way, Hogwarts Legacy is the Harry Potter RPG we’ve always wanted to play."
