Yet, simply having another option to be able to play Hogwarts Legacy, and especially the handheld versatility of the Switch, is a positive move for everyone in the gaming community and Harry Potter fans. Sadly, it is very likely that the quality of the game will not be the same as many have come to expect from seeing the original version for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

The good news for Nintendo Switch owners is that Hogwarts Legacy is still in development and expected to release on the Switch just in time for the holiday season. If players are required to download the game or use a physical cartridge, the size of the game could quickly fill up any space they have on their systems. This date will mean that the Switch will be getting the game nine months after its original launch on the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S systems and six months after Hogwarts Legacy came to PS4 and Xbox One. The massive size of Hogwarts Legacy has led some to believe that it may not be able to run on the Switch without being a cloud version, but this has not yet been either verified or disputed by Nintendo or Avalanche Software. After facing several delays, Hogwarts Legacy is currently scheduled to be released for the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2023.

The Nintendo Switch has released several games as Cloud versions where players access the game online rather than having a physical cartridge or download on their system.
