Hogwarts Legacy June 5th Update Released, Is 55GB in Size, Full Patch Notes

16 Comments

Avalanche Software has just released a new Title Update for Hogwarts Legacy. According to the release notes, the June 5 Patch is 55GB in size on PC, and it brings content to the game that was exclusive on the PlayStation consoles. So, let’s take a closer look at it.

The June 5th update unlocks the Haunted Shop mission. As said, this mission was previously exclusive to Sony’s consoles. So, it’s pretty cool that we can finally experience it. Well, that is if you still have the game installed on your system. It also makes all the special items and cosmetics available to everyone. This includes the Onyx Hyppogriff mount, the Felix Felicis Potion, and the Shopkeeper Cosmetic set.

Moreover, this update adds a Photo Mode. This mode will allow players to capture screenshots of their Hogwarts Legacy experience and all their newly unlocked cosmetics. I was never a fan of Photo Mode in games, but that’s just me. Do note that Photo Mode will become available after completing the mission to gain access to the field guide.

And there’s more. This update also includes some changes and fixes just for PC players. It updates NVIDIA DLSS and Intel XeSS to their latest versions. Unfortunately, though, AMD FSR is still at version 2.0. The update also cleans up rogue semi-translucent meshes in BVH for Ray Tracing. Plus, it fixes a problem where the colors would suddenly change when moving the camera in Hogsmeade.

Overall, this latest update is a welcome addition. The previous patch for this game came out in June 2023. So, it’s pretty cool to see such an update a year later.

Speaking of Hogwarts Legacy, you may also want to try the following mods for it. In theory, they should be compatible with the game’s latest version. So, you can download a really cool VR Mod. Then we have this Multiplayer Mod which is still in Early Access. Ah, the beauty of paid mods. Moreover, you can find a mod that allows you to play as Harry Potter. Then, we have this amazing first-person mod. And lastly, you can download this Accurate Dialogue Choices Mod.

Like always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
