Hogwarts Legacy, Civilization 7, And More Reveal $10 Switch 2 Upgrade Fees

Warner Bros. Games is offering a $10 upgrade for owners of Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch to access a newly built Switch 2 version launching in June 2025.
This offer follows a practice similar to Sony's paid upgrades for remastered games and reflects the Switch 2's hardware improvements requiring new builds rather than simple patches.
The original Hogwarts Legacy Switch edition released in November 2023 is discounted 70% in the US, while the Switch 2 version features higher resolution, next-gen assets, faster loading, and new controls like mouse support.
Warner Bros. States the $10 upgrade includes "1080p resolution in handheld mode," "faster broom flying," "DLSS support," and "mouse controls," enhancing gameplay on the Switch 2.
This upgrade signals a trend of more publishers charging for next-gen Switch 2 editions while maintaining backwards compatibility for older Switch games, implying layered consumer options.
