It wouldn\u2019t he unheard of for a game this big and ambitious to skip the Switch altogether.<\/p>\n<p>There is good news for Harry Potter fans in this instance, though, with a Switch release now confirmed for Hogwarts Legacy. Keep on reading and we\u2019ll tell you all about it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will Hogwarts Legacy come to Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Hogwarts Legacy will release on Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p>The developers made this clear by including the Switch on the list of confirmed platforms on the <a href=\"\/\/www.hogwartslegacy.com\/en-us\/faq&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Frequently Asked Questions page<\/a> of the game\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p>The FAQ page states: \u201cHogwarts Legacy will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, Nintendo Switch and PC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The game\u2019s community manager, Chandler Wood, then stated on Twitter: \u201cWe don\u2019t have anymore details right now except to confirm that yes, Hogwarts Legacy is coming to the Switch.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">We don&#8217;t have anymore details right now except to confirm that yes, Hogwarts Legacy is coming to the Switch.<\/p>\u2014 Chandler Wood (@FinchStrife) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/FinchStrife\/status\/1504943773956001794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">March 18, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><h2><strong>When will Hogwarts Legacy come to Switch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The exact Hogwarts Legacy Switch release date is yet to be confirmed, but there\u2019s nothing in the FAQ page or Wood\u2019s Tweet to suggest that it will be arriving any later than the other versions of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Hogwarts Legacy is slated to launch in the holiday season at the end of 2022, and unless anyone tells us otherwise between now and then, we\u2019d hope to be playing the Switch version within that same time period.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, if you\u2019re desperate for some Harry Potter action on Switch, don\u2019t forget that the LEGO Harry Potter games are available right now on Nintendo\u2019s handy hybrid console.

At the time of writing, however, neither the FAQ page nor Wood\u2019s Tweet have confirmed or denied that this will be the case. We don\u2019t know at this stage, basically, whether Hogwarts Legacy on Switch will be a cloud affair or a more traditional release.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, on <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09VX3M58F&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">Amazon US<\/a>, the product page for Hogwarts Legacy displays boxed cover art for the game on Switch \u2014 you wouldn\u2019t expect to buy the game in a box if you weren\u2019t getting a physical cartridge, right? Perhaps that\u2019s something of a clue.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019ll await official confirmation one way or another, and we\u2019ll update this page when we get it.
