Ahead of the February 10 current-gen launch date, Avalanche Software has revealed the official Hogwarts Legacy PC system requirements. For a 1080p at 60fps (frames-per-second) experience, PC players will need the equivalent of an i7-8700 CPU and GTX 1080 Ti GPU, but can still enjoy the title with an i5-6600 CPU and GTX 960 GPU at the cost of graphical quality. Those seeking the greatest visual experience can enjoy 4K graphics at 60fps with an i7-10700K and an RTX 3090 Ti.
Hogwarts Legacy is an action RPG set in JK Rowling’s beloved Harry Potter universe, and is the first full-fledged Wizarding World video game since 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Unlike previous titles, Hogwarts Legacy allows players to live out their own adventures in the universe, attending Hogwarts classes as their own customized character and exploring famous locations from the series such as the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade.
