Hogwarts Legacy Which Edition Should You Buy

Harry Potter fans and Gamers alike are eagerly anticipating the release of Hogwarts Legacy the open world RPG set in The Wizarding World has already become the best-selling game of 2023 climbing to the top of the list on Steam and this has all happened prior to the game's initial release but if you were yet to decide whether or not you want to purchase the game I'll be breaking down each of the additions available as well as which one is the best option to purchase Hogwarts Legacy is releasing on February the 10th for the PS5 Xbox series and the PC but those on Old gen and switch are gonna have to wait some time before they get their hands on the game the PS4 and Xbox One will receive the game on April the 4th and the Nintendo switch release is set for July the 25th typically developers are eager to push the game for release and will tend to fix and patch holes after the game is in the Public's hands but it seems they are taking care with the older generation versions and making sure that the game is polished before its release when purchasing Hogwarts Legacy there are three options to choose from the standard edition the deluxe edition and the collector's edition the standard and Deluxe editions can be purchased both physically and digitally whereas the collector's edition is only available physically now let's break down the standard edition of Hogwarts Legacy it is the cheapest of the three options and is the one that most of the players will tend to go for it includes the base game as well as an onyx hippogriff Mount but to get that you need to pre-order the game as it's a pre-order exclusive if you pre-order the game on the PS5 you will also receive the Felix felici's potion recipe this appears to be a PlayStation exclusive only and won't be available after the game's launch if you did not pre-order it PlayStation users will also be granted access to the haunted hogsmeade shop Quest we will go into more detail about this Quest later on if you purchase the standard edition after the February 10th release you won't receive the Onyx hippogriff Mount this is the same for the Felix felici's potion moving on to the deluxe edition it also contains the base game but a standout is the 72 hours early access meaning that you can play the game on February the 7th compared to the rest of players who have to wait until the Feb 10th release date this early access of course is only available for PS5 Xbox series and PC users if you pre-ordered Hogwarts on an old gen or switch you won't receive any Early Access when the game comes out the deluxe edition also includes the dark arts pack which contains a thestral mount which is one of the few mounts we have seen available the thestral mount will most likely have the same functionality as the hippogriff as it is both able to travel by air and ground another important note is that the dark arts pack is the only way to obtain this Mount if you purchase the digital deluxe edition of Hogwarts Legacy by buying the game by the Playstation or Xbox stores you will receive a dark arts Garrison hat which is just another cosmetic item but this is exclusive the digital versions of the game the deluxe edition also comes with the dark arts cosmetic set as well as the dark arts battle arena which we saw in a Dev update not too long ago the dark arts battle arena is an area where you can use dark magic such as the unforgivable curses if you choose to lead your character down that route now players who purchase the standard edition will still have access to other battle arenas in the game but they will have to purchase the dark arts pack separately via DLC if they want to access this content the third and final version of the game is the collector's edition which includes all the content seen in the deluxe edition including the 72 hours early access but more importantly it contains a life-size floating ancient magic wand with an accompanying bookcase which is a physical item that you can plug in and display a wand which floats on top of the book which is pretty cool it also comes with the steel case and its own collector's edition box within the game game itself you'll get access to the Kelpie robe which is a cosmetic item that only collector edition owners will be able to obtain PlayStation owners have been looked after by WB Games as not only will they receive the Felix felici's potion recipe if they pre-order the game they will also be granted access to the haunted hogsmeade shop Quest the haunted hogsmeade shop Quest is an eerie mystery Adventure involving hogsmead's shopkeeper Madame Mason it will only be available for the PS5 and PS4 versions of Hogwarts Legacy players who complete the haunted hogsmeade shop Quest and Associated dungeon will also get exclusive access to their own shop in hogsmead where they can sell items and gear at rates far better than anyone else in the game so it seems that PS5 users are getting a bit of an advantage as they will most likely be able to access better gear faster and much more easily personally this doesn't bother me as I will be playing on the PS5 but I can fully understand stand how this can be frustrating for PC and Xbox users however there is a small Silver Lining regarding this as the haunted hogsmeade shop Quest will be available on all other platforms after one year meaning that it's still a PlayStation exclusive but only for a limited time another key detail to know is that a pre-order isn't required to obtain this shop Quest so if you purchase the game after February 10th you will still have access to this Quest alright let's break down the pricing of each version of the game the standard edition is coming in at 69.99 on the PS5 and series X and S and coming in at 59.99 on the PS4 and Xbox one as well as the Nintendo switch the deluxe edition costs 79.99 on the PS5 and series X and 69.99 on the PS4 Xbox One and Nintendo switch the collector's edition is coming in at approximately 300 US Dollars which translates to 430 Australian dollars which is where I'm from that that is quite extortionate and a large sum of money the collector's edition although is much harder to get Hands-On as only certain Outlets are Distributing them and it is in much limited Supply now the big question is which Edition should you purchase if we are strictly speaking of value I'd have to say it is the deluxe edition as for an extra ten dollars you're walking away with a handful of cosmetic items as well as access to the dark arts battle arena but more importantly three days early access which I know is massive for quite a few people as most of us are counting down the days until we can get our hands on the game I can't see much value in the collector's edition as it's at a very extreme price point but at the end of the day that version is targeted to more of the hardcore collectors out there and I'm sure it has its appeal to some but the vast majority I can see the deluxe edition being the standout for value and if you're not too fast about the Early Access or Cosmetics the standard edition is the most affordable option out there I have put some links down in the description if you're wanting to pre-order any of these different versions so check those out if you're interested and don't forget to leave a like And subscribe if you want to see more content
