These are, of course, the global early access times for Digital Deluxe pre-orders. If you’ve purchased a physical Deluxe Edition, then you need to contact your retailer for the exact time you can pick up your game or when it will be delivered.<\/p>\n

There’s only one way to get into the magical world of Hogwarts Legacy faster via Early Access, and that is to open your wallet for either the Deluxe Edition or the Collector’s Edition.<\/p>\n

While the latter has already sold out, you will have no problem getting a Digital Deluxe Edition for  $79.99 on PlayStation and Xbox and $69.99 on PC.<\/p>\n

That’s around $10 more for the upgrade from a Standard Edition to a Deluxe Edition for Hogwarts Legacy, allowing you to play the game three days early. Otherwise, you will have to wait until 10 February 2023 to play it if you don’t go for the Early Access option. In case you missed it, check out the Hogwarts Legacy launch trailer below.<\/p>\n
