Is Hogwarts Legacy Coming To Xbox Game Pass?
Third-party titles coming to Xbox Game Pass are no surprise these days. Over the past few years, we’ve such heavy hitters such as Outriders, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and even MLB: The Show arrive the same day they’ve launched on other systems.
With Hogwarts Legacy being such a high in-demand title, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Microsoft drop a ton of cash to secure an Xbox Game Pass launch when it arrives on February 10. However, if you’re hoping this to be the case, you may be sorely disappointed.
Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring Hogwarts Legacy at present. With pre-orders for the game skyrocketing, it’s no surprise Warner Bros. wants to keep it away from a membership service at present. Despite this, there’s always a possibility it may join in the future.
Just recently, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga arrived on Xbox Game Pass after just eight months since its initial launch, which was also a Warner Bros. title. With this pattern, it’s possible we could see Hogwarts Legacy arrive before the year’s end, however, this is pure speculation on our part.
