The upcoming Harry Potter video game is touted as the biggest project in developer Avalanche Software's history, as well as Warner Bros. most anticipated game to date. They have already come out with a joint statement declaring the minimum and recommended PC requirements for the Hogwarts Legacy title, and now they've released details about the performance modes the game can run on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and S.
While developer Avalanche Software claims there will be many more modes, the two that are already confirmed are based on framerate. Performance Mode will target 60 fps displays, while Fidelity Mode can be used to run Hogwarts Legacy at 30 fps.
Some of the rumored graphics performance modes rumored to be confirmed in the near future should target TVs and monitors with variable refresh rates. This also depends on the resolution that those displays will be broadcasting the game in, with a performance mode targeting 4K resolution considered a necessity for next-gen console users and a 1080p mode that these two confirmed modes might already cover.
This string of announcements is finally a good sign for a project whose development has been beyond troubled, to say the least. With the release being delayed multiple times heading into 2022 and even now in 2023, having the performance modes and hardware requirements revealed is a step in the right direction.
