Although Hogwarts Legacy was released on PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 in February, those who own a PS4 or Xbox One had to wait nearly three months longer to enjoy the game. However, the wait is finally over for PS4 and Xbox One owners, as the Harry Potter game is now available starting from May 5, 2023. Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch players will need to exercise even more patience.

Instead of purchasing games individually, an increasing number of Xbox players are opting for a subscription to the Xbox Game Pass. This service offers a vast collection of games, both old and new, sometimes even before their official release.

Now that the highly anticipated Harry Potter RPG has finally been released on Xbox One, you might be wondering if Hogwarts Legacy will be available on Xbox Game Pass in the near future.

To clarify, Hogwarts Legacy is not currently accessible through Xbox Game Pass. However, while there is no current information regarding the game joining the Game Pass library, it is still possible for this to change in the future.

Due to the immense popularity of the Harry Potter franchise, developer Portkey Games and publisher Warner Bros. can confidently anticipate a significant demand for the game. This anticipation proved accurate as numerous individuals eagerly purchased the game upon its initial release on PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5.

The game will most likely be available only through direct sales for a while, similar to how big movies are initially shown in cinemas before being released on video on demand platforms. It wouldn’t be logical for Warner Bros. to release it on Game Pass at this moment, considering that the game is about to make its debut on Xbox One.

Will Hogwarts Legacy Be On Xbox Game Pass In The Future?

It is possible that Hogwarts Legacy could join the Game Pass at some point, and the likelihood of this happening is not too low. Since Hogwarts Legacy is a single player game, the excitement surrounding it will eventually diminish once a significant number of players have completed it. This could potentially increase the chances of it being included in the Game Pass.

Anyway, we don’t expect it to be released on Game Pass earlier than mid 2024, since it will take until July 2023 until the game is available on all consoles.
