Warner Bros.

and Avalanche Software have officially unveiled a detailed comparison trailer showcasing 'Hogwarts Legacy' on both the original Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2.

This new footage offers a side-by-side look at the graphical and performance enhancements fans can expect when the highly acclaimed action RPG debuts on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. The comparison trailer highlights considerable advancements in both visuals and gameplay experience on Nintendo Switch 2.

Players will immediately notice improved graphics fidelity, crisper textures, enhanced lighting, and smoother frame rates, delivering a more immersive journey through the wizarding world.

Notably, Warner Bros.

reports that the segmented loading areas present on Nintendo Switch 1 are now eliminated, allowing for seamless open-world exploration on Nintendo Switch 2.

Avalanche Software confirms these changes create a "more cohesive and uninterrupted adventure" for players.

The newly optimized experience boasts faster load times and refined controls, further enhancing player immersion and responsiveness.

These technical upgrades position the Nintendo Switch 2 as a premier platform for portable action RPG experiences. 'Hogwarts Legacy' itself remains a rich, open-world action RPG inspired by the Harry Potter universe, inviting players to explore Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its surrounding locales in the 1800s.

Throughout the adventure, players can forge alliances, battle dark wizards, learn spells, brew potions, and nurture magical creatures while uncovering a hidden chapter in the wizarding world’s past.

The game empowers players to shape their destiny, deciding the outcome of a story that puts them at the center of their own magical journey. Among its key features, 'Hogwarts Legacy' offers the freedom to traverse a massive, living world—from the iconic Hogwarts castle and nearby Hogsmeade village to the mysterious Forbidden Forest.

Players are able to personalize their witch or wizard by learning magical skills, mastering potions, and building formative relationships.

The Switch 2 edition further elevates this experience thanks to its hardware enhancements and faster load times, providing smoother transitions between environments and a more immersive wizarding adventure. Warner Bros.

has also confirmed that an upgrade path will be available for owners who purchased the title on the original Nintendo Switch, ensuring that returning players can easily access the latest enhancements on their new hardware.

As 'Hogwarts Legacy' launches on Nintendo Switch 2, it stands as a testament to the collaborative achievements of Warner Bros.
