Much like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor this week, Hogwarts Legacy was a game that had many issues on PC when it first dropped. Many gamers complained about Hogwarts Legacy's stuttering frame rate, even on the swankiest, high end PCs.

Regardless of whether they had minimum or recommended specs, the magic of Hogwarts wasn't living up to expectations. As the game is dropping on PS4 and Xbox One tomorrow (Friday 5th May), many of you might be deciding to opt for the console or PC version. So, how is the game doing now?

We'll walk you through how to fix the jank of the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy by improving its frame rate. Let's reignite the magic.

If none of the above work for you or you should be able to run the game fine without disabling ray tracing or reducing graphical fidelity, you will need to wait for the game to be fixed with a patch. Games are often less optimised upon release. The longer Hogwarts Legacy has been out, the more likely it is that it will perform better on your PC following updates.

Hopefully, though, one of the fixes above works for you. We know they’re not specialised at all but it will have to do in lieu of an official fix from the development team.
