LEGO Harry Potter Collection Is Launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 8

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection is making a magical return, with Warner Bros. Games announcing its release on modern platforms such as PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S on October 8, 2024. Initially released in two separate installments in 2010 and 2011, these games captured the magical adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione at Hogwarts.

For context, the original LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 was released in 2010, capturing the early years of Harry Potter’s adventures at Hogwarts. Then, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 in 2011 covered the darker, more intense latter half of the series, with the final battle with Voldemort.

In 2016, TT Games compiled both titles into the LEGO Harry Potter Collection, offering players the complete Hogwarts experience on modern consoles. The remastered version builds on the success of the originals, and now, eight years later, it’s being brought to even more platforms with even better visuals and performance.

What to Expect From the New LEGO Harry Potter Collection?

Double Eleven, the studio handling the remaster, has ensured that the game will take complete advantage of modern hardware. Here’s what you can expect from the updated version:

• All Content from Years 1-4 & Years 5-7: The remastered collection includes all the content from both original games, covering all seven years of Harry Potter’s journey, plus all previously released DLC.
• Native 4K Resolution: Experience the magical world of LEGO Harry Potter in stunning 4K resolution, bringing new life to vibrant and colorful environments.
• 60FPS Gameplay: The game will run at a smooth 60 frames per second, ensuring that exploration and combat feel more fluid and responsive than ever.
• Haptic Feedback: PlayStation 5 users will benefit from haptic feedback, enhancing the tactile experience of spellcasting and other in-game actions.
• Improved Textures and Shadows: The remaster also boasts improved textures and high-resolution shadow maps, adding depth and detail to every scene.

Platforms and Pricing

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection will be available digitally across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 8, 2024. The game price will be at $39.99 across all platforms. There is no word for a physical version, but this could change following the sales.

If you already own the collection on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, Warner Bros. Games has confirmed that players will be eligible for a discounted upgrade to the new version. However, pricing details for the upgrade remain disclosed until nearing release.

The Start of a New LEGO Harry Potter Era?

While the news of the LEGO Harry Potter Collection’s remaster will excite fans, some may still hope for the long-rumored open-world LEGO Harry Potter game. For context, in 2023, a teaser from Warner Bros. South Africa’s Instagram briefly sparked speculation about a new LEGO Harry Potter title, but we have not heard any official announcements since.

Regardless, Harry Potter fans won’t have to wait long for new content as Warner Bros. Games’s Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, a multiplayer-focused game centered around the wizarding sport of Quidditch, is launching on current and last-generation platforms starting September 3, 2024.
