I wouldn't call myself a full-on Harry Potter superfan. Let's just say I missed the Hogwarts Express when the books came out because I was already too old for sorting hats and potions class. That said—Hogwarts Legacy absolutely enchanted me when it launched. It's a spellbinding open-world RPG that lets you explore Hogwarts in all its sprawling, secret-passage-filled glory, but without the usual baggage of Harry, Dumbledore, and You-Know-Who. Set in the 1800s, the game stands proudly on its own, with a rich story, slick gameplay, and enough freedom to make you feel like you actually belong in the wizarding world.
And now, good news: if you've been hesitating to play (maybe because of the online drama that had nothing to do with the game itself), Hogwarts Legacy is now available on PlayStation Plus Extra, starting today. Just download it and dive in—no Time-Turner needed.
Even better? It's not alone. Other bangers arriving today include:
Battlefield 1 – cinematic WWI mayhem
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2 – emotional storytelling from the Life Is Strange devs
PlateUp! – chaotic co-op restaurant sim that will destroy friendships in the best way
EA Sports PGA Tour – surprisingly gorgeous golf action
Blue Prince – clever, mysterious strategy-puzzle game that everyone's raving about (Seriously, it's the highest rated game of 2025 so far!)
Time to clear your weekend schedule. Accio controller!
