Release Date, Time and Countdown
There have been reports of players having issues preloading Hogwarts Legacy such as the preload not completing the download. As of writing, there has been no acknowledgement from Hogwarts Legacy regarding these issues.
While waiting on an official announcement for a fix, players can try turning off their console then turning it back on. This is a tried and tested method for fixing general errors for computers.
Another possible fix is to restart your router or modem. The problem could be on the side of Hogwarts Legacy and a quick modem reboot could help with this problem.
Check back soon as we will update this page once more information on the topic is available.
