　　Now Playing: Hogwarts Legacy - Tour the Hufflepuff Common Room

　　Hogwarts Legacy will be playable starting February 7, actually, for people who buy the more expensive version of the game on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC.

　　Those versions of the game have now "gone gold," developer WB Games Avalanche announced alongside the news of the delay for the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions.

　　The studio said, "We want to deliver the best possible experience to the entire community, no matter which platform they choose." This suggests the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions needed more time to get polished and ready for release.

　　Some updates on PS4, Xbox One, & Switch release dates for Hogwarts Legacy. We want to deliver the best possible experience to the entire community, no matter which platform they choose. That said, we're excited to announce the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions have gone gold! https://t.co/pForKRZl9p

　　Fans have been waiting a long time for Hogwarts Legacy, as the game was originally scheduled to launch in 2021 before it was delayed to 2022 and then again to 2023.

　　Hogwarts Legacy has been overshadowed at times by remarks from Harry Potter creator JK Rowling. The author has been criticized for comments about trans people in recent years. Rowling's team worked with Warner Bros. on "all aspects of Hogwarts Legacy" to ensure it is a "true part of the Wizarding World experience..." The story in Hogwarts Legacy, however, was not written by Rowling.
