According to a tweet made by WBGamesSupport, they have confirmed thatHogwarts Legacyis, indeed, Steam Deck Verified. A lot of fans have been excited about the game ever since the announcement of the Hogwarts “simulator” back in 2020, with fans looking forward to immersing themselves in the Wizarding World universe. The developers are hoping that this confirmation will help consumers make their decision on whether they should purchase the game or not.
In an earlier report, Warner Bros. already detailedHogwarts Legacy’s performance modesplanned for both Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 consoles. While this doesn’t necessarily affect PC gamers, the additional confirmation that Potter fans will be getting the same experience from a desktop versus the handheld is great news. These versions, along with the PC release, will come out simultaneously, so fans expect that all three versions will be running on a similar engine and will be mostly at par with each other. Nevertheless, the game is shaping up as one of the biggest releases of 2023.
With the game continually generating a lot of buzz within the community,Hogwarts Legacyis expected to be one of the best-selling games of 2023. Releasing on both next-gen and current-gen, being able to play the game on multiple platforms is always a welcome option, especially for those who own more than one gaming console. With the only other portable option being the Nintendo Switch, which releases at a later date, having the game run smoothly on the Steam Deck on day one will please those looking for the full Hogwarts experience while on the go.
