Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software has announced its summer update, which will bring new features to the game on June 6.
In a post on Twitter, Avalanche shared details about the update. Players on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, and PC will get the most out of it, as the Haunted Hogsmeade quest, previously exclusive to PlayStation, will now be playable for everyone.
One of the biggest additions is the new photo mode, which will give players a variety of options to take and customize pictures in the game. Additionally, a new quality-of-life feature will allow players to reset their Talent Points.
This update aims to enhance the Hogwarts Legacy experience with new content and features, making it more enjoyable for players on various platforms.
Hogwarts Legacy DLC Update Drops
Fans had almost lost hope, but the wait was worth it.
After months of guessing, the summer update for Hogwarts Legacy has been announced, and it will be available next week.
Despite rumors that the update wouldn’t have many new features, the developers have decided to surprise us.
One of the most exciting parts of this update is the new photo mode, which fans have wanted since the game launched. One Twitter user excitedly posted, “OMG!!!! A PHOTO MODE!!!??? THANK YOU!” This shows how happy people are about this feature.

But what else is new?
In addition to the photo mode, players will get an Azkaban-inspired outfit, an onyx Hippogriff, and the ‘Haunted Hogsmeade’ DLC, which was previously only for PlayStation users.
Not all players are thrilled with the update, though.
“Not gonna lie, I thought it would be a liiiittle bit more to keep us busy in the world, but it’s still nice,” commented Twitter user @gruene_Feder, adding, “At the same time, I can’t help to feel a little disappointed.”
Fans still love the Harry Potter adventure and want something truly new and exciting, rather than just a few features and a previously exclusive quest.
Even though this update isn’t huge, it offers more than some expected.
Also, a sequel has been almost confirmed for at least one console, which is great news.
For those returning to Hogwarts, you only have to wait a bit longer. The update goes live on June 6, which is just over a week away.
Hogwarts Legacy’s Free Summer Update
Hogwarts Legacy is not a live game and doesn’t seem to be adding any big paid DLC in the future. However, Portkey and WB have just announced a summer update coming on June 6 that includes some new features. Here’s what’s coming:
- Photo Mode(!)
- The ability to reset talent points
- The Haunted Hogsmeade quest
- The “Glasses Who Live” (Harry’s glasses)
- Azkaban Prisoner outfit and coat
- Felix Felicis Potion recipe
- Lavender Borealis Broom
- Onyx Hippogriff mount
Even though the only “new” content is the Haunted Hogsmeade quest, it’s not entirely new. It’s a PlayStation-exclusive quest that is now available on all platforms. The potion, previously a pre-order exclusive, will now show the location of large loot chests on the minimap.
The most exciting addition is the photo mode, which fans have wanted since the game launched. The ability to reset talent points is also nice, though it’s not a full New Game Plus mode, which is something many players wish the game had.
