Despite being almost four months since its release last February, Hogwarts Legacy remains one of the most popular and profitable titles of the year so far. While we may be missing some content in the game such as Quidditch (which Warner Bros. decided to release as a multiplayer title in the future), Avalanche Software's game was a great performer on current-gen platforms, and also in the subsequent last-gen release. However, it can be improved to keep the magic alive.

A new bug fix update has been released for Hogwarts Legacy, and the details are detailed below.
