Fans waiting for Hogwarts Legacy who also own a Steam Deck are wondering if the game is compatible with this gaming console. Although Steam Deck has gained a lot of popularity, it still only supports a handful of video games. Naturally, folks who own this console are always curious if a new release will run on their system or not. Now that Hogwarts Legacy is about to roll out, folks have started asking this question to the devs. Well, if you are looking for more information on this topic, then you have come to the right place.
Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated games of 2023. This is mostly because the game shares the magical world of wizardry that is featured in the Harry Potter series. Though, the game is not directly connected to the original books or movies. You play as a student that attends the wizarding school of Hogwarts in this open-world RPG. Players will be able to choose their own house and decide their fates for the most part. You will learn and use different spells and also get to ride brooms around. Now, the game has been slated to release on all major platforms, but Steam Deck owners are wondering if they will be able to it on their handheld device. So, let’s find out.

Hogwarts Legacy Steam Deck Compatibility Details & More
At the moment, it is unclear if Hogwarts Legacy will be compatible with Steam Deck or not. The devs have not made any statement regarding this matter. As we mentioned before, only a handful of games are compatible with Steam Deck. But, the list is growing very quickly. We also need to keep a few things in mind. First, Hogwarts Legacy will roll out for other consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. The game will also be available on Nintendo Switch as well. This means that there is a huge possibility that Hogwarts Legacy might get Deck Verified.
Though, it depends on how polished the game is and its compatibility with the handheld. We also need to note that the Nintendo Switch version of the game will roll out later than the other versions. So, it is entirely possible that Hogwarts Legacy might get compatible with Steam Deck after some time. But considering the popularity of the title, it is possible that the devs and Valve are already working together to get the game Deck Verified. However, even if official verification is not provided, we are sure that the game might run on the handheld out of the box after it releases on PC. But, take this information with a pinch of salt as there are no official claims for the same. We will update our article as soon as more information is available. Till then, stay tuned to Digi Statement, and happy gaming.
