Can your PC run Hogwarts Legacy?

Warner Bros. Games publishes four PC specification tiers. They are stated targets, not independent benchmark results; actual performance can vary with hardware, drivers, settings, and the game’s current software version. Every tier specifies 64-bit Windows 10 and DirectX 12.

Publisher tier CPU Graphics card Memory and storage Stated target
Minimum / Low Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400 NVIDIA GTX 960 4 GB or AMD RX 470 4 GB 16 GB RAM; 85 GB HDD. HDD is supported; SSD preferred. 720p / 30 fps, Low
Recommended / High Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti, AMD RX 5700 XT, or Intel Arc A770 16 GB RAM; 85 GB SSD 1080p / 60 fps, High
Ultra Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti or AMD RX 6800 XT 32 GB RAM; 85 GB SSD 1440p / 60 fps, Ultra
Ultra 4K Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti or AMD RX 7900 XT 32 GB RAM; 85 GB SSD 2160p / 60 fps, Ultra

These specifications and targets are published on the official PC requirements page; the page does not state a publication year for them. Use the tier closest to your intended resolution and settings, and check that your available drive has at least the listed 85 GB capacity. The minimum tier is the only one that explicitly supports an HDD.
