Hogwarts Legacy Mod Support Update Patch Notes Revealed

Despite the fact that work on Hogwarts Legacy 2 is ongoing, no specific launch date has been announced yet. Consequently, Harry Potter enthusiasts who are eager to engage with a video game adaptation continue to be captivated by Hogwarts Legacy. Although the frequency of significant updates for the game has decreased, the PC version of the game recently received a substantial update. This most recent update, rolled out on January 30th, introduces mod support to Hogwarts Legacy. This development offers an expansive array of possibilities for fans to customize and personalize the wizarding world as they see fit.

Similar to how Baldur’s Gate 3 previously offered official mod support, Hogwarts Legacy now does as well. This update introduces an official mod support feature and a mod creator kit for download. Players can now easily access and install mods through the game’s new MOD menu. To address concerns about save files, the game allows users to move their old vanilla saves into a new file. This way, players can experiment with mods on the copy without jeopardizing their original save files.

The control over the castle lies with you, dear Community! The newest complimentary upgrade for #HogwartsLegacy has been released, offering full compatibility with mods to all PC gamers.

Hogwarts Legacy January 30 Patch Notes for Version 1326194

In the new PC update for Hogwarts Legacy, mods take center stage, but there are other adjustments too. The update introduces more Ray Tracing capabilities and addresses various bugs in the PC version of the game. Important bug fixes include resolving issues with audio and outfit clipping, as well as enhancing stability to prevent game crashes. For a comprehensive list, check out the patch notes for Hogwarts Legacy from WB Games, which are provided below.

Ray Tracing

All Raytraced Reflections are now rendered at a higher fidelity, resulting in crisper, more detailed visuals.
Raytraced Reflections have been enabled on bodies of water, including the Black Lake.
Additional settings have been exposed for the Raytracing feature on Hogwarts Legacy, allowing users to customize the visual experience to best suit their hardware. Previously Raytracing was simply enabled or disabled via a global quality setting. In the latest patch, we now expose quality settings for each feature (excluding Raytraced Ambient Occlusion).
Raytracing Geometry settings have also been exposed; this allows users to adjust the render distance and realism of both Raytracing Shadows & Reflections. This affects the level of detail that the game renders raytraced geometry.
Support for Nvidia’s DLSS4 has been added to the game.
Support for Nvidia’s Ray Reconstruction technology has been added to the game.
RTX 50 series GPU owners can utilize Nvidia’s Multi-Frame Generation technology.
