Avalanche has released the official patch notes, which we’ve republished at the bottom of this page.

"This patch addresses overall gameplay performance and stability as well as online connection improvements," the studio said.

Avalanche has said it's looking into a fix for Hogwarts Legacy players getting stuck under the map or inside objects, and has offered a couple of potential workarounds while it investigates these issues.

"PS5 players, due to some unforeseen issues, we’re targeting later this week to get your patch to you," reads a message posted on the game's Twitter account.

Chandler Wood, community manager at Avalanche, also said the PS5 patch will include a fix for the ‘Collector's Edition’ Trophy, which players should earn by completing all collections.

In a private message with a player, Wood reportedly said the PS5 update will "retroactively fix the issue and pop the Trophy for anyone who didn't get it".

Hogwarts Legacy, which is based on the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, was released last week amid significant controversy around the publicly-stated views of its author regarding transgender rights.

The game is the subject of a boycott due to multiple public comments from Rowling perceived by many to be transphobic (for a full breakdown of the situation, we recommend this article by Glamour).

Although the author was not involved in the development of the game, critics note that Rowling will likely profit from Hogwarts Legacy and benefit from its popularity.
