While perhaps not rich in terms of new content that players have been eagerly awaiting for since the game’s release in Early 2023, Warner Bros. Games have rolled out their Summer 2024 update for Hogwarts Legacy on all supported platforms. This update features a new photo mode, additional and previously exclusive content, bug fixes, PC driver updates, and a talent reset option, allowing players to try different builds and playstyles.
For all non-PlayStation copies of Hogwarts Legacy, this update introduces the previously time-limited PlayStation exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade Shop quest. Players can now access this quest and earn rewards such as the Shop Keeper’s outfit and ownership of a shop in Hogsmeade. Additionally, the previously exclusive Onyx Hippogriff mount and Felix Felicis Potion Recipe are now available to all, alongside new items like the Azkaban Coat, Azkaban Prisoner’s Outfit, The Glasses That Lived, and the Lavender Borealis Broom.
Also introduced is a proper Photo Mode, allowing players to create and capture in-game screenshots with various customization options, including exposure, contrast, camera tilt, zoom, depth of field, and field of view adjustments. Players can also alter the time of day and season, adjust character poses, remove UI and non-player characters, and customize screenshots with house and character themes, frames, crests, and filters. Pretty much, it brings the Photo Mode found in many major games nowadays, into Hogwarts Legacy.
