November 13, 2023 - With Hogwarts Legacy releasing on Switch, we've updated our guide on the game's accessibility features.

The list of Hogwarts Legacy accessibility features is quite sizeable, and we have all of the details on what you can do to make your gaming experience slightly easier to manage and enjoy. These days, games are shipping with a wide array of various accessibility features. Not only to help players with various disabilities but to make the game that little bit more comfortable and customisable.

You've more than likely seen some of these features make their way into other games, and you may even use some of them already. These accessibility features can ultimately make the gameplay experience a much smoother experience, or even allow someone to be able to play at all. Given the size of this game, some of these options are a must.
