Will They Add Multiplayer Co-op to Hogwarts Legacy? Answered

Will Hogwarts Legacy Feature Multiplayer Co-Op?

While the idea of multiplayer combat and adventuring in Hogwarts Legacy would ignite interesting interactions and events, this will not become a reality in the game’s future. Hogwarts Legacy is intended to be a single-player action RPG that, although available on multiple platforms, will not have any co-op or online multiplayer options.

However, you’ll still need a stable internet connection to download the game and any bugfix patches that may follow its release. Other activities, like watching Twitch streams for cosmetics rewards, also require internet access. More information on this and other questions about the game are further explained in The game’s Frequently Asked Questions.

Despite the game having no online capabilities, this doesn’t mean you’ll be alone during your Hogwarts Legacy adventures. Like similarly-styled games, you’ll be able to interact with various NPCs, including befriending fellow classmates at the Wizarding School. These students allow you to have a companion who will join you throughout your quests and share more information about the world. While this doesn’t quite replace a real-world friend, it does help with learning the game’s lore.

Hogwarts Legacy is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch through the official website. If you’re interested in learning more about the game, check out How to Get Pets in Hogwarts Legacy and All Sophronia Franklin Quiz Answers Listed.
