About Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG set in the wizarding world of the 1800s, long before the time of Harry Potter. Players take on the role of a new fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. Gifted with a rare ability to perceive and master Ancient Magic, the player must navigate student life, attend classes, learn spells, brew potions, tame magical beasts, and explore iconic locations like Hogwarts castle, Hogsmeade village, and the vast surrounding Scottish Highlands. They will forge alliances, battle dark wizards and dangerous creatures, and ultimately decide the fate of the wizarding world as they uncover a hidden truth from the past.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best laptop to play Hogwarts Legacy?
The 'best' laptop depends on your budget and desired performance (resolution and graphics settings). Our guide provides tailored recommendations, from budget-friendly options for 1080p gaming to high-end machines capable of 4K with ray tracing for Hogwarts Legacy. Check our 'Recommended' or 'High' tier sections for a great balance of price and performance.
How much RAM do I need for Hogwarts Legacy?
While the minimum requirement might be 8GB, we strongly recommend at least 16GB of RAM for a smooth gaming experience in Hogwarts Legacy. This allows the game to run effectively while also handling background processes from your operating system without performance drops.
Is an SSD required to play Hogwarts Legacy?
While not always a strict requirement, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is highly recommended for Hogwarts Legacy. It dramatically reduces loading times, getting you into the game faster and eliminating stutters when the game loads new areas. All our recommended laptops feature an SSD as standard.
How important is the GPU's TGP (Total Graphic Power) for Hogwarts Legacy?
TGP is very important. Two laptops with the same GPU, like an RTX 4060, can have very different performance levels. A higher TGP (measured in watts) allows the GPU to run faster and deliver more frames per second. We specify target TGP values in our requirement tiers where possible to help you choose a laptop that performs as expected.
