Will Hogwarts Legacy be coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch?
Only a couple of days away from the official release of Hogwarts Legacy and its Early Access, the community seems excited to get their hands on Avalanche Software's upcoming game.
The RPG will be released for all major gaming platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch. This led to curiosity about whether the game would make it to Game Pass and, if so, whether it would have a Day XNUMX release under Microsoft's subscription model.
Unfortunately, those who wanted to try the game on Xbox and PC Game Pass will not be able to do so, as Hogwarts legacy will not be part of the library.
However, it's likely that Avalanche Studios and Warner Brothers will be looking to make the game part of the Game Pass library in the near future.
Hogwarts legacy could make its way to Game Pass in the future
While Hogwarts Legacy is not part of Microsoft's subscription model, the RPG will likely become part of the Game Pass library in the coming years. Much of this speculation stems from the fact that game publisher Warner Bros has had experience adding their games to the Game Pass library. Some notable games include Mortal Kombat and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
As such, players may not have to wait too long for Hogwarts Legacy to become available in the library as it proves to be one of the most successful releases in 2023.
Aside from the Game Pass release, the RPG will not support New Game Plus after launch. However, it's likely that Avalanche Software might want to add the mode shortly after the game's release. This has to do with the Legacy House sorting system that is present in the title and how that feature dictates the common room the player will belong to.
The ability to download subsequent playthroughs with items and upgrades from the initial launch and carry them over to a new home will add a fresh new perspective to the story. This should allow players to explore areas of the game that they missed in their original playthrough.
