The hype behind Hogwarts Legacy seems pretty high, and it looks like that has translated into strong sales, at least on PC. Hogwarts Legacy is already one of the top-selling games on Steam, and it was performing better than free-to-play games at one point. Fans now have a better idea of the specs required to run Hogwarts Legacy at different resolutions and frame rates.

The official system requirements for Hogwarts Legacy have now been revealed, and it looks gamers will need a high-end PC to play it on Ultra settings. To run Hogwarts Legacy in 4K on Ultra settings, fans will need to have an RTX 3090 Ti or a Radeon RX 7900 XT, along with an i7-10700k or a Ryzen 5800X. These specs will allow users to play Hogwarts Legacy at 4K/60fps with Ultra quality settings.
Users that match these CPU requirements but have an RTX 2080 Ti or a Radeon RX 6800 XT can play Hogwarts Legacy at 60fps in 1440p with the same settings enabled. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Hogwarts Legacy requires a GTX 960 or a Radeon RX 470 at the minimum to run at low settings. These minimum requirements will allow for gameplay at 30fps in 720p, as fans will need a GeForce 1080 Ti or a Radeon RX 5700 XT to run at it in 1080p at 60fps.
For CPU, users require an i5-6600 or a Ryzen 5 1400 for the minimum settings, while an i7-8700 or a Ryzen 5 3600 is needed to play at the recommended configuration. Hogwarts Legacy players will need 16 GB of RAM to meet the minimum and recommended specs, while 32 GB is required for both variants of Ultra. Finally, fans will need around 85 GB of storage space, preferably an SSD, to download the game.
Users on consoles should note that Hogwarts Legacy will have options for quality and performance modes on PS5, and it’s safe to assume that the same will be true for the Xbox Series X/S version of the game. It’s also scheduled to release on previous generation systems, but the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy were recently delayed to April 4.
Hogwarts Legacy launches February 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, with PS4 and Xbox One versions coming April 4 and the Switch version launching on July 25.
