Hogwarts Legacy June 2 Patch Improves Performance and Squashes Bugs

By Abhinav Sharma Published 06/05/23 EDT

The latest update of Hogwarts Legacy is here and it goes hard on bugs and crashes. The June 2 update doesn't add any new content but it improves existing ones. The game performance is improved while bugs related to Achievements, UI, Missions, and more are squashed.

Achievements now work as intended when there's no internet connection, and Avatar now uses the correct wand instead of a generic NPC wand. The overall lighting has been optimized, and the crashing issue caused by the VRAM leak on the PC has been addressed.
