Forspoken looks like it’s going straight for a brick wall, but Hogwarts Legacy is on track to be the first big hit of the year. Avalanche Software’s game has been the top seller on both Steam and consoles for months. The studio has released the configurations needed to run the game on PC and they’re pretty scary as what’s shown is far from transcendent.
A 1080 Ti is recommended for 1080p at 60Hz with high detail and a 3090 Ti for 4K at 60Hz with the highest detail level. Note that the game should support DLSS 3.0 for 40xx card owners. Hogwarts Legacy is coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Cherries on February 10th.
