According to a user on Reddit, the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy hides PS5 and PS4 exclusive content among the game files.
For the uninitiated, the PS5 and PS4 versions of Hogwarts Legacy include an exclusive “Hogsmeade Haunted Shop” quest. In this mission, players take part in “spooky and mysterious adventure“featuring Madame Mason, the owner of a shop in Hogsmeade, and explore a dungeon full of dangers. Once completed, players gain access to an exclusive store in Hogsmeade where they can sell their items and equipment at better prices than other stores in the game.
This content will remain exclusive to PS5 and PS4 for a year after the publication of Hogwarts Legacy, but as redditor enaske discovered, it is actually already included in the game files of the PC version. The user found the names of various exclusive content and said that to enable it, the last save file should be opened in a hex editor (for example HxD) and at the end replace the line with 00 0E 00 00 00 53 74 6F 72 65 5F 30 33 5F 53 6F 6E 79. However, users say that the method is not working. However, since the game files contain exclusive content, it is likely that modders will make it available to everyone in due course.
Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy is recording exceptional numbers on Steam with over 489,000 concurrent users, despite the game being currently only available in Early Access for those who have purchased the Deluxe Edition.
