The 2022 Opening Night Live held by Gamescon possessed a plethora of interesting news, including the much-awaited knowledge regarding the Deluxe and Collector’s editions of Hogwarts Legacy. This single-player action role-playing game boasts an 1890 backdrop with players getting the chance to experience the events taking place at the School of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world game set in the mysterious institution of Hogwarts. In this supernatural thriller, gamers will act as students equipped with the curiosity to discover the hidden secrets of the Wizarding World. To a few gamers’ disappointment, Hogwarts Legacy will be devoid of a multiplayer mode.
Fortunately, you’ll be able to sanction your entry into Hogwarts castle, the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade, and other surrounding regions. Additionally, progression into higher levels will occur via attending classes, practising witchcraft and completing objectives.
Note: The game is scheduled to release on 10th February 2023 for PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, while the pre-order becomes available from 25th August 2022.
Hogwarts Legacy is rolling out special editions; Deluxe, Digital Deluxe, and Collector’s. Apart from the Standard edition, they all come with early access to the game. However, the Deluxe edition encompasses a package of digital benefits, while the Collector’s edition packs more physical perks.
Here’s more about the most significant differences between the various editions made available for Hogwarts Legacy.
1 – Hogwarts Legacy Standard Edition
The Standard edition is the most generic version of Hogwarts Legacy. It’s already available in the market for gamers to pre-order. Furthermore, it’s the only edition that the developers, Avalanche Software, have validated.

- PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC – $59.99

While the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consist of a premium Console Exclusive Quest, the other console version only comes with a base copy of the game.
2 – Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition
The Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition grabs the edge over the Standard Edition primarily due to the 72-hour early access it comes with. As a result, the owners of this edition will be able to access the game on 17th February 2023 instead of 20th February 2023. In addition, it comes with a considerable number of other perks.
