Hogwarts Legacy Pre-order Bonuses
Pre-ordering any of THE Hogwarts Legacy editions on any platform will grant you the Onyx Hippogriff Exclusive Mount as a free bonus.
However, the specific bonuses (mentioned above) that you receive will depend on whether you pre-order the Standard Edition or the Deluxe/Collector’s Edition of Hogwarts Legacy, as well as whether you pre-order the game on a PlayStation or other platform.
Is Hogwarts Legacy Digital Deluxe Edition worth it?
The Hogwarts Legacy Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game and exclusive in-game content that’s not available in the Standard Edition. This includes special gear, spells, and more that can enhance the player’s experience within the game. Players who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will also receive early access.
The 72-hour early access is a must-have if you plan on purchasing the Deluxe or Collector’s Edition anyhow, but whether or not you care about the other bonuses is up to you. But do note that exclusive in-game content can provide an edge over other players and enhance the player’s overall experience. The Digital Deluxe Edition also offers a cross-gen upgrade and another bonus that will make you want to play the game even more.
However, if you’re just a casual player on a tight budget and you’re thinking about picking up the Standard Edition, you probably shouldn’t pre-order unless you’re using a PS4 or PS5. Pre-ordering the standard edition on any platform other than PlayStation will only get you the Onyx Hippogriff, although there are plenty of other beautiful mounts to choose from in the game. The Digital Deluxe Edition is priced higher than the Standard Edition, so it’s important to consider whether the added content is worth the extra cost.
Overall, the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition is, arguably, “worth it” for those who appreciate the game and have the means to purchase it. Though excellent on its own, the Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition’s bonus content makes for a better experience than those found in the standard version, but may not significantly change the gameplay experience for some players.
