Does Hogwarts Legacy have multiplayer or co-op modes?

While Hogwarts Legacy offers thrilling elements such as flying and spellcasting, many wonder about its multiplayer or co-op capabilities. Find out here whether you can journey through the campaign with friends or test your magical skills against them in duels.

Harry Potter fans can immerse themselves in their Hogwarts dreams with Avalanche Studios’ newest release, Hogwarts Legacy. In this game, players can wander through iconic locations, encounter beloved characters, and acquire an arsenal of powerful spells.

Many players may be wondering if the game can be experienced with friends and what its multiplayer capabilities are. With that in mind, here’s everything we know about Hogwarts Legacy multiplayer or co-op features.

Is there co-op and multiplayer in Hogwarts Legacy? 

No, Hogwarts Legacy does not support multiplayer co-op capabilities. Hogwarts Legacy is purely a single-player experience and only features PvE content. Players hoping to team up with friends or battle it out in multiplayer wand-based duels will obviously be disappointed, but there are two areas that can make your adventure a little less lonely. 

First up, is the Dark Arts Battle Arena. As the name suggests, this fearsome battleground is a place where witches and wizards can test their magical might against some tough AI opponents. You’ll need to utilize the most powerful spells here in order to survive the trials ahead. 

Lastly, Hogwarts Legacy also features AI companions like Sebastion Sallow, Natsai Onai, and Poppy Sweeting who can be encountered on quests. While these two features don’t make up for the lack of co-op or multiplayer features, they will help to make your Hogwarts Legacy playthrough more rewarding. 

Hogwarts Legacy multiplayer mod

While it’s unlikely developer Avalanche Software has plans for an official co-op mode in Hogwarts Legacy, PC players may just be in luck. A mod on Nexus Mods called HogWarp allows players to enjoy multiplayer as a feature in what is a solo campaign experience.

Currently, HogWarp is available to download on NexusMods with the player needing to join the Discord server for authentication.

Unfortunately, this mod would only be available to PC players, so console players will have to stick with Hogwarts Legacy as a single-player experience.
