Hogwarts is one of the most anticipated games on both consoles and PC. It is constantly on top of the Steam charts. That is a remarkable feat for an unreleased game. Because of that, the question that will come up very often is the question of “Can your rig run Hogwarts Legacy?”. Well, we are in luck, the demands are very much reasonable.

In this guide, we’ll go through all 4 requirement options to help you determine which is right for your current setup.

From what we can tell, many players comfortably reach the recommended specs for the game. This is great news for players who don’t want to go through the hassle of putting together an expensive graphics machine.

We were also surprised by how reasonable the ultra specs are too. This speaks volumes about the level of optimization that’s been put into the game. It also helps that the developers didn’t go the route of ultra-realistic when putting together the characters and their world.
