You have tech questions, and we have answers. Warner Bros. Games’ Hogwarts Legacy has different graphics modes and settings available across PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X | S, and PC (as well as minimum, recommended, and maximum PC hardware system requirements), and we are here to explain them.
Graphics Modes and Settings for Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, Xbox, and PC
On PS5 and Xbox Series X | S, Hogwarts Legacy most prominently offers Fidelity mode and Performance mode. Fidelity mode targets 30 FPS with higher-fidelity graphics, while Performance mode targets 60 FPS with slightly lower-fidelity graphics. Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) tech is supported on PS5 and Xbox Series X | S on TVs that support that functionality.
Hogwarts Legacy PC players have a high range of control over their visual experience as expected, but one must consider PC system requirements to ensure you get the best gameplay experience. The type of PC hardware you own and the operating system it runs on will make a difference in how the graphics will appear.
