Hogwarts Legacy received a pretty decent list of bug fixes on February 14, just in time for anyone planning to play the game for Valentine’s Day. The patch notes are listed below for Xbox and PC players. However, it looks like PlayStation 5 won’t be getting a patch just yet, those gamers will have to wait a bit longer before the game tweaks are also available on their system. It’s said that Xbox and PC players should now see a reduction in any weird bugs or performance issues you may have seen over the past week since launch. All updates and changes are noted in the list below.
