Developer Avalanche Software has finally rolled out the PS5 patch for Hogwarts Legacy which improves overall performance, stability, fixes bugs, and more. Here’s a full breakdown of the patch notes.

Hogwarts Legacy received its first patch on February 14, 2023, which addressed standard performance issues, bug fixes, and overall stability improvements.

Unfortunately for those players on PS5, Avalanche Software announced PlayStation fans would have to wait until later in the week to download the patch.

Now, the PS5 Hogwarts Legacy patch is finally here, and the development team has released the full patch notes detailing everything the update has fixed. Here’s a full rundown of what PS5 players can expect from this update.

New #HogwartsLegacy patch for PS5 and PC rolling out now. For PS5 players, this should resolve the "Collector's Edition" Trophy and retroactively unlock it for anyone who has met the requirements.

Hogwarts Legacy February 17 PS5 update fixes trophies and improves stability

Like the PC and Xbox Series X/S patch that arrived on February 14, this patch mainly addresses issues that get resolved in typical day-one patches. Things like general bug fixes and overall stability improvements are present in the 01.000.004 patch on PS5 as well.

However, this patch specifically addresses some PS5-centric trophy issues surrounding the ‘Collector’s Edition’ trophy, which involves completing the game’s Collection menu. Now, players who should have earned the trophy on PS5 beforehand but didn’t will see it retroactively pop upon loading up the game.

This patch also fixes a handful of other bugs like NPCs causing the game to crash, Owl Mail not triggering sequential quests, and save game issues that affected all versions of the game.
