How To Get Hogwarts Legacy Early Access
Hogwarts Legacy is perhaps one of the most anticipated games of all time. Since gameplay leaked years ago, fans have been foaming at the mouth to get their hands on what many hope is the pinnacle of Harry Potter games. Now we’re getting a steady stream of gameplay, the wait for Hogwarts Legacy is becoming unbearable.
It’s set to release on February 10th, 2023, which for any helpless muggles out there, feels like an eternity. However, it’s been confirmed Hogwarts Legacy will be getting an early access launch, which has many excited fans around the world eager to find out how.

We’d implore you to read our explainer of the controversy so far, and consider supporting trans rights charities where possible.

How To Get Hogwarts Legacy Early Access
Click to enlargeWhilst Hogwarts Legacy is set to release on February 10th, 2023, it’s been revealed that players can gain early access to the game and jump in three days before on February 7th, 2023.
The big question on everyone’s mind is how exactly this is possible. Thankfully, it’s very simple as players only need to purchase one of the following versions of Hogwarts Legacy:
- Hogwarts Legacy: Deluxe Edition
- Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition
- Hogwarts Legacy: Collector’s Edition
It really is as easy as that. It’s important to note that if you have the base version of the game pre-ordered, you won’t be getting the early access perk and will have to wait until February 10th, 2023 to play the game.
