Hogwarts Legacy to be Steam Deck Verified at launch

For Harry Potter fans, the upcoming release of Hogwarts Legacy is fast approaching and it seems they're making sure it works on Steam Deck. Well, that might be a bit of a stretch, they might have just loaded it up to see if it works, but the result to players is the same.

When asked about the status of it on Twitter, the official WB Games Support account noted "We reached out to the Hogwarts Legacy team for you and were able to confirm that the game WILL be Steam Deck verified on launch. We hope this helps with your decision! Take care." — good news for anyone who plans to pick it up. Being Steam Deck Verified almost always means it will work well on desktop Linux too.

Available for pre-order on Humble Store and Steam.

Something to be aware of though, are all the issues surrounding the Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling. An article on Forbes goes through some of it and goes into better detail than I can. Comments on it are open, as long as people don’t throw around insults at each other, respectful debate is fine.
