The arrival of Hogwarts Legacy on multiple platforms grows ever closer and the excitement surrounding the controversial title continues to mount with each passing day.
With only a few days left before the long-awaited wizarding title drops, players now want to find out whether or not the game will be available on their respective systems. Xbox users in particular are curious if it will be launched on Game Pass. If you want to know whether you can play it on Microsoft’s subscription service, then we’ve got you covered.
Here’s all that we know about Hogwarts Legacy’s inclusion on Game Pass.
Is Hogwarts Legacy coming to Game Pass?
Unfortunately, Hogwarts Legacy will not be available on Xbox Game Pass once it’s released. If you want to play the much-anticipated Harry Potter-inspired title, you’ll have to purchase the game on any of the other platforms it’s available on.
AAA games are rarely launched on Xbox Game Pass within the first few weeks. Most day one launches on Microsoft’s service are typically console exclusives, like High on Life and Pentiment. But even though it won’t be available with the subscription service on launch day, it may still be included at some point in the future.
Plenty of prominent titles have already made their way to Xbox Game Pass years after their initial release, such as Monster Hunter Rise and Persona 5 Royal. Having said that, it may still be a few years before this happens so if you’re itching to play it, we recommend buying the game instead. With only a few weeks left before it launches, now would be the best time to place a pre-order in order to get the goodies that come with it.
How much is Hogwarts Legacy going to cost?
Those that are planning to play it on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, or Nintendo Switch can purchase the Standard Edition for $59.99. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S users, however, will have to pay $69.99.
Will Hogwarts Legacy be free?
No, it will not be free and must be bought before it can be played.
