Some Hogwarts Legacy PS5 players are reporting that they cannot launch the game with the PS5 beta firmware installed. Hogwarts Legacy won’t be released until Friday, February 10, but it offered early access to those who pre-ordered the Deluxe or Collector’s Edition of the game.

How to Fix Hogwarts Legacy PS5 Beta Starting Issues

Some unsuspecting gamers have canceled the PS5 system software beta to start Hogwarts Legacy, but you don’t have to go through that! All players need to do is restore the licenses. This issue appears to affect both the disc and digital versions of Hogwarts Legacy.

Here’s how players can restore game licenses on PS5:

  • Go to Settings > Users & Accounts > Other > Restore Licenses.

Sony’s licensing system is a mess, so we’re not surprised that this problem arises. Those who are still worried that the beta will brick their console and ruin their library can roll back to the current version of the system by following these steps:

  • Go to Settings > System > System software > System software update & settings > Stop using beta.

It’s worth noting that no widespread issues have been reported with the PS5 firmware beta. Additionally, the Hogwarts Legacy not starting issue precedes last night’s PSN outage that caused licensing issues.
