by

Avalanche Software has just released a new title update for Hogwarts Legacy. According to the release notes, the June 5 patch will be 55GB in size on PC and will bring content to the game that was exclusive to PlayStation consoles. So let’s take a closer look.

The June 5 update unlocks the Haunted Shop mission. As mentioned, this mission was previously exclusive to Sony consoles. So it’s pretty cool that we finally get to experience it. Well, if you still have the game installed on your system. It also makes all special items and cosmetics available to everyone. This includes the Onyx Hyppogriff mount, the Felix Felicis Potion, and the Shopkeeper Cosmetic set.

Additionally, this update adds a photo mode. This mode allows players to take screenshots of their Hogwarts Legacy experience and all their newly unlocked cosmetics. I was never a fan of Photo Mode in games, but that’s just me. Please note that Photo Mode becomes available after completing the mission to access the Field Guide.

And there is more. This update also includes some changes and fixes especially for PC players. It updates NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS to their latest versions. Unfortunately, AMD FSR is still at version 2.0. The update also cleans up rogue semi-translucent meshes in BVH for Ray Tracing. Additionally, fixes an issue where colors suddenly changed when you moved the camera in Hogsmeade.

Overall, this latest update is a welcome addition. The previous patch for this game came out in June 2023. So it’s pretty cool to see an update like this a year later.

Speaking of Hogwarts Legacy, you might also want to try the following mods for it. In theory, they should be compatible with the latest version of the game. So you can download a really cool VR mod. Then we have this Multiplayer Mod that is still in Early Access. Ah, the beauty of paid mods. Moreover, you can find a mod that allows you to play as Harry Potter. Then we have this great first-person mod. And finally, you can download this Accurate Dialogue Choices Mod.

As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch the client. Below you will also find the full changelog.
