Hogwarts Legacy ‘Summer Update’ Now Live On Xbox, Here Are The Patch Notes

And there are rumours of a Director’s Cut…

Hogwarts Legacy fans, today’s your day! The official Summer 2024 Update is now live on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, introducing a few new features including a Photo Mode along with plenty of bug fixes.

As we mentioned recently, this update also brings the Haunted Shop Mission to all versions of Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox – it was previously exclusive to PlayStation alone. Some of the exclusive cosmetics have also been brought over.

Interestingly, in a separate story about Suicide Squad today, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has mentioned that a “Director’s Cut” of Hogwarts Legacy is currently in the works, so we’ll keep an eye out for more details on that.

Here are the full patch notes for Hogwarts Legacy’s Summer Update on Xbox Series X and S. The Xbox One patch notes differ slightly in terms of the specific bug fixes that have been implemented for the last-gen versions.

Hogwarts Legacy Summer 2024 Update: Patch Notes
Developer Notes
This Patch unlocks the Haunted Shop mission previously available only to Sony platforms on all supported platforms, as well as all previously exclusive items and cosmetics, including:

The Onyx Hyppogriff mount.
The Felix Felicis Potion.
The Shopkeeper Cosmetic set.

It also includes new, never seen before cosmetic items, AND a new broom:

The Lavender Borealis.
The Azkaban Themed gear.
The Circular Taped Spectacles.

A Photo Mode has also been added to allow players to capture screenshots of their Hogwarts Legacy experience and all their newly unlocked cosmetics. *Photo mode will become available after completing the mission to gain access the field guide.
