delayed numerous times, now set to arrive on November 14. The game was wildly successful when it released for other platforms, but the Switch's notoriously dated hardware has cast doubt on how well the port will function.
Hogwarts Legacy is a sizable and detailed game, with a number of graphical effects that rival the fidelity of even the best-looking games on modern systems like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Despite that this large game has a lot to offer on other consoles, there are multiple aspects of it that make it a perfect candidate for handheld gaming. Therefore, if developers succeed in making Hogwarts Legacy playable on the Nintendo Switch, then this will likely be the most ideal console to experience this game.
Hogwarts Legacy Can Thrive On A Handheld Like The Switch
As many know, there are seemingly endless activities and story quests to complete in Hogwarts Legacy. While playing this on traditional consoles is perfectly viable, a lot of these tasks require simply too much time to devote in one sitting. Therefore, players are forced to play for long stretches or inconveniently check in when able. If Hogwarts Legacy were to be placed on a handheld console, this solves a lot of the problems that players are experiencing in this way.
Since the Switch would provide the option of putting in 20 minutes here or there while on the go, which is a perfect amount of time to complete a small task like the Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy or a side quest, it actually makes it the ideal console for this type of game. Many players that are not able to progress as efficiently as others, simply due to the lack of large amounts of time that they can devote to playing, will benefit from this additional option and be able to make more progress than they would otherwise.
Graphics For The Sake Of Convenience
Given the delays in releasing Hogwarts Legacy to the Switch, it is likely that developers are facing a problem with getting Hogwarts Legacy to run smoothly. As this is a large game with several complex components and high-quality graphics, it is likely that in order to run on the Switch in a way that is playable, the graphics will have to take a hit and be slightly lower quality for the sake of smooth gameplay. However, this is likely not to be a problem for many players as the graphics will still be of quality even if it is slightly less than its larger console counterparts and unlikely to hinder the overall experience.
Hogwarts Legacy is a game that can thrive on a handheld platform like the Nintendo Switch, as long as the game runs adequately. There are several tasks that require players to put in a lot of time but can be easily broken down into more frequent, shorter play sessions, making them much more convenient. The benefits in this case certainly outweigh the negatives and many players are eagerly awaiting the time at which they can experience Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch, a platform it feels it belongs on.
