With so many players jumping into Hogwarts Legacy at launch, we've experienced some issues with account linking due to the high demand. Our teams quickly worked to resolve the issue and account linking should be functioning again. You will need to fully close and relaunch the game to claim your rewards. Thanks for all your patience!
