Hogwarts Legacy’s June PC update delivers major performance improvements

Expect Hogwarts Legacy to run a lot smoother on PC and current-gen consoles with the game’s June update

Hogwarts Legacy has received a new patch that promised to greatly improve the game’s framerate stability on both PC and current generation consoles, promising memory optimisations, optimisations to overall lighting, a resolution to “single-frame hitching throughout the game”.

With these changes, Hogwarts Legacy should now run a lot smoother on all current generation platforms, with less hitching and stuttering across the game. This is great news for gamers, as this hitching could be very annoying when traversing Hogwarts Legacy’s large open world.

Alongside these performance improvements, Hogwarts Legacy has received updates that address crashes and other game bugs, all of which are detailed in the patch notes below.
