Where to pre-order Hogwarts Legacy - and claim a free gift card
Hogwarts Legacy pre-orders are now live, and you can claim a free gift card in the US
Hogwarts Legacy pre-orders have been out in the wild for a few days now, and with some pricing mix ups and free gifts out the way, it looks like things are starting to get rolling. US shoppers have it easiest right now, with pre-orders available at a range of retailers (though we'd recommend heading straight to Best Buy), while UK stores are still a little late to the party. Not only that, but yesterday we were seeing £59.99 prices on the PS5 / Xbox Series X versions, which has now jumped up to £64.99 after an apparent blunder on day one. You'll find all the latest Hogwarts Legacy pre-order updates right here, as well as the best retailers offering the highest quality deals.
Best Buy is currently offering a free $10 gift card with all of its Hogwarts Legacy pre-orders - across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. That's an excellent result considering other retailers don't seem to be following suit just yet (we're keeping a close eye out incase they do). However, if that free cash can't tempt you, we've also spotted listings at Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop.
Over in the UK, things are a little slower. We're still waiting on Amazon for a full list of pre-orders, with no copies currently on the shelves. We'd recommend heading straight to ShopTo, though. You'll find discounts across all PlayStation and Xbox copies, with current generation Hogwarts Legacy pre-orders available for just £49.85 - that's a £15 saving.
Hogwarts Legacy costs $69.99 / £64.99 for current generation copies and $59.99 / £54.99 for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions. You'll find all the best retailers to place your pre-order just below and we're rounding up all the latest discounts across the best PS5 games further down the page.

PS4 - Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition | £45.85 at Best Buy
Hogwarts Legacy's lower price on older platforms is the same in the UK on the Deluxe Editions, but with ShopTo's own price cut on top, it's an absolute steal. Almost unbelievably so.

Big Hogwarts heads might opt for the Collector's Edition, which costs $289 on PC and last-gen consoles and a clean $300 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.

Note this is a Game-exclusive in the UK, whereas you should have a couple of options in the USA.
PS5 Hogwarts Legacy - Collector's Edition | $299.99 at Best Buy
We have live links for the Collector's Edition at both Best Buy and GameStop but both places aren't allowing pre-orders - yet.

Amazon also has a listing page, but no option to proceed too.
