Is Quidditch In Hogwarts Legacy?
Do you want to know whether Hogwarts Legacy has Quidditch? Quidditch is as popular of a pastime as football in the wizarding world of Hogwarts Legacy. The excitement of the sport has even sprung into our world, but will Hogwarts Legacy have us become a seeker or a beater? Let's get into our Hogwarts Legacy Quidditch guide.
Disclaimer: While the creator of the Harry Potter franchise was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, their comments on social media around transgender people are hurtful and dangerous given the size of their platform.
We’d implore you to read our explainer of the controversy so far, and consider supporting trans rights charities where possible.

Hogwarts Legacy Quidditch: Can You Play It?
Click to enlargeHogwarts Legacy will support broomstick riding, but unfortunately, Quidditch is unavailable in the game - not at launch, anyway.
Whilst initially stated in the FAQ page by the developer that you can fly on the broom for traversal and "broom race challenges" and "to explore new and familiar locations surrounding Hogwarts Castle", Quidditch was notably absent.
You will be able to find and even explore the Quidditch arena in Hogwarts Legacy, however, the sport is not a part of it. There are story reasons for this - as explained in the game, an unforeseen injury happened to a student in the previous school year prior to the start of the game. This has resulted in Quidditch being banned for the year by Professor Black.
If you're still eager to hop on a digital broom and play Quidditch, we may have some waiting to do. It may not be all doom and gloom though, as there could be a Quidditch DLC in the works.
If you're wanting to jump on your broom right now, you'll have to play one of the other Harry Potter games that supports the sport. For example, back in 2003, EA made a video game based on the sport called Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. If you're hankering to score goals through a hoop while chasing to get the golden snitch, we recommend getting a PS2, Xbox, or GameCube and booting up Quidditch World Cup.
