A lot of stores like Walmart, Best Buy, and Gamestop will stock consoles on a schedule when they have them, such as Walmart every 20 minutes. I've had the most luck with Target for pickups as your only competing against locals, and if your Best Buy stocks consoles than you'll have even more chances.

The Harry Potter RPG is already generating plenty of interest, and based on the recent gameplay demo there’s plenty of reasons to be excited about Hogwarts Legacy.The app HotStock is what I've used to get 3 of the newest consoles. Hogwarts Legacy is currently scheduled to release in Holiday 2022, and in a surprise twist a Nintendo Switch version was recently confirmed (there’s no pre-order details for this version of the game quite yet). However, for now at least, it looks like when you buy a copy of Hogwarts Legacy it will be locked to a single platform, so choose carefully before hitting that pre-order button. However, this won’t offer access to the native next-gen version which will presumably feature specific enhancements such as a higher frame rate and faster loading times.Īt the time of writing, digital pre-orders haven’t gone live yet, and there is the possibility that the current pre-order information is just placeholder.

Players who opt for the cheaper PS4/Xbox One version of Hogwarts Legacy should still be able to play the game on PS5/Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility. An upgrade path allows gamers still using last-gen hardware to buy the game for their current console and carry on playing when they eventually get hold of a next-gen system. A free, or even paid, next-gen upgrade is particularly useful for gamers still hunting a PS5 restock or Xbox Series X restock.
