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.
The discount has reignited interest in the game within the Steam Deck community. As a result, it has climbed 19 positions on the Steam Deck Top Played chart in the past week and is now comfortably sitting at the number 7 spot, just below Diablo 4, another game that has seen a generous discount lately.
Big discount on Hogwarts Legacy on Steam
Hogwarts Legacy was launched with a price tag of $59.99 on Steam. Since its release, we’ve seen some occasional discounts, but they haven’t been quite as significant as today. For the first time ever, thanks to a 70% discount, it is currently available for $17.99. According to SteamDB, this is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for the game, so it’s the perfect opportunity to grab it if you haven’t tried it already.
The best part is that Hogwarts Legacy is Verified on the Steam Deck. For those who don’t know, a Verified game runs smoothly on the handheld without any performance issues. You don’t have to worry about tweaking or adjusting the settings to optimize its performance, as it runs great out of the box.
What is Hogwarts Legacy all about?
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG title set in the Harry Potter universe. You play as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, attending classes, mastering spells, and exploring the magical world. You can choose your Hogwarts House, customize your character, and develop your magical abilities. Throughout the game, you’ll be tasked to complete quests that will help you uncover the mysteries of the game’s world. On top of that, you’ll also meet new and interesting characters as you make progress.
Overall, the game will keep you attached to your Steam Deck for weeks or months, depending on how much time you spend in it. The main campaign can be completed in around 28 hours, but for 100% completion, you’ll need to invest around 72 hours.
