Avalanche Software has finally unveiled the patch notes for Hogwarts Legacy’s eagerly awaited Summer Update, which will be available on June 6, 2024. Fans already knew that Hogwarts Legacy’s new update would bring a previously PlayStation-exclusive quest to all players, include a Photo Mode, and fix several bugs, but they can now discover exactly what is changing in the Summer Update.

Hogwarts Legacy was the most popular game released in 2023, selling over 24 million units. Due to its popularity, many Hogwarts Legacy fans have been pretty interested in the Summer Update since it was unveiled earlier this year. With the update’s release getting close, Hogwarts Legacy is climbing the sales charts again, appearing as the most-sold game in the United Kingdom this week.

To completely master the arcane arts in Hogwarts Legacy, players will want to pick up these incredible spells.

Now, the Hogwarts Legacy developers have unveiled the official patch notes for the Summer Update. The patch comes with three major additions: the previously PlayStation-exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade Shop mission becoming available on all platforms, the new Photo Mode, and the option to reset talent points. The Photo Mode is a major highlight of the patch, as it was among the most commonly asked features by fans. This new feature will give players a huge variety of tools to take pictures of the game, including removing characters, changing seasons, the time of day, and more. The patch will also bring new cosmetic items, including a broom.

Apart from these major additions, Hogwarts Legacy’s Summer Update will also fix over 30 bugs. Some of these fixes include translation issues, while others are related to gameplay elements, UI, and graphic glitches. Bugs fixed by the update include the removal of butterflies that misled players to previously opened treasure chests and a problem where a blinding light would appear as gamers left the castle. Also, some of these bug fixes are specific to some platforms, such as PS5, where the main character’s dialogue volume was increased during the final fight, or PC, where the update cleaned up glitched semi-translucent meshes in Raytracing.

Hogwarts Legacy fans will likely be wondering whether this will be the final major update for the game. While it’s possible that Avalanche Software will keep working on minor issues such as fixing bugs, it’s more likely that the team will focus on a potential Hogwarts Legacy sequel. At the moment, however, Hogwarts Legacy 2 is still not confirmed, and there’s no available information on possible settings or characters that the title may have.

Build Version – 1218405
