Three days into the release of the previous patch from Hogwarts Legacy, the developers dropped another patch last night on Friday, 17th February 2023. Hogwarts Legacy is now at version 1.000.004, thanks to the latest patch.
Although the previous patch did a fine job of resolving issues encountered by the Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, certain issues were left unresolved for the PS5 and PC users. Therefore, the latest patch will address the issues encountered by PS5 and PC players and will improve the overall gameplay performance and stability.
The issues faced by PS5 and PC users were mainly related to the game’s cinematics which included a stability issue while skipping cutscenes and VFX presentation of the robe transformation.
Now with the release of Patch 01.000.004, these issues are in the past. Hogwarts Legacy also faced a few performance-related issues on PS5 that caused the game to crash on consoles on several occasions. The patch will resolve these performance-related issues as well.
