Man, I gotta tell you about the PS Store. They’re always throwing some kind of sale, right? Like, I honestly can’t keep up with how often you can snag some kinda deal on PS4 and PS5 games. Summer Sale’s got this crazy deal I stumbled upon—open-world fantasy stuff, fans of magic, you’re gonna love it!
Oh, and yeah—Hogwarts Legacy is dropping jaws at 75% off. Don’t ask me how they can offer the PS5 version for just $17.49 when it used to be nearly seventy bucks. PS4 folks, you’re looking at $14.99, down from $59.99. Why so cheap? Who knows, maybe magic or something! But heads up, this deal flies away on July 31 at the stroke of 2:59 a.m. ET. Yeah, I know—awkward time, right?
The game’s all like, “Welcome to the 1800s at Hogwarts.” You’ve got this character holding an ancient secret (spoiler alert: it’s super dramatic), and it’s tearing at the seams of the wizard world. You’re making friends, battling those shady Dark Wizards—typical day, right? Anyway, your legacy is all up to you. I tried to live mine unwritten, but my cat had other plans.
Now, let’s flashback a bit to 2023. Hogwarts Legacy hit the shelves to some pretty sweet fanfare. Metacritic says it averaged an 84 out of a batch of 96 crit reviews. I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10 myself. Like, it’s basically the game all us Harry Potter geeks were dreaming of since we were clutching that first book in our awkward little mitts.
Hogwarts Legacy’s real kicker? Warner Bros. hit it big—even if it didn’t win all the shiny awards. Over 30 million copies flew off the shelves by the end of last year. Crazy, right? And yeah, it’s based on the Harry Potter world but stands on its own broomstick. If that makes any sense.
