Publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer Avalanche Software have delayed the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy from its previously planned July 25 release date to November 14.

A message from the game’s official Twitter account reads: “We know fans are looking forward to playing on Switch, therefore creating the best possible experience is our top priority. Thank you for your patience.”

The open-world action RPG, set in the Wizarding World introduced in the Harry Potter books, first launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on February 10, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 5.

It will release on switch 2. Nintendo are going to pull a bait and switch, no pun intended.

There’s absolutely no reason to release it on the Switch. Over 90% of gamers and casuals already have a separate console available and possibly already played it.
It will sell gazillion units in Japan on switch alone. That’s probably the sole reason they want it out

This is bullshit. I don't know what parallel universe you are from where the average gamer owns two consoles but its not the one we are all living in.

Most the people I know who own a Switch also own a PS5. Apart from one friend. Even my friends kid who is 12 owns both. I remember I had to show him how to do stuff on Mario Oddessy lol. I was like let a pro show you lol.
Not saying your wrong, but personally from experience.

In Japan you are probably right though

There are 38 million PS5s out there right now and 125 million Switches. I can assure you that your friend group is not reflective of the wider world.

Like I said, I dont think your wrong, just everyone I know owns either a PS4/PS5 with Switch . I know one friend who only has a switch and 1 friend who only has a ps5. Most my friends have both
