2023 was an exciting year for gamers, with the release of many highly anticipated video games, including Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, and one of the year’s biggest hits, Hogwarts Legacy. Since the game is linked to the Harry Potter novels, it quickly attracted a large player base soon after its release. And if you’ve been planning to try the game on your Steam Deck, now would be the right time to do so, as there’s currently a 70% discount on it on Steam.
