Changed consoles and want to continue your Hogwarts Legacy playthrough? WB Games says PS4 saves can move to PS5 and Switch saves to Switch 2, one way only. Did your save transfer on the first try, which method did you use, and did the Harry Potter Fan Club account-linking rewards actually appear in your game?

What WB Games Support says (read on November 12, 2026):
- PS4 to PS5: upload your saves to PlayStation Plus cloud storage (active subscription required) or use USB storage, download them on PS5, then confirm the pop-up when you launch the game. A PS5 save cannot go back to PS4.
- Switch to Switch 2: Nintendo system transfer, “Transfer Save Data” between the two consoles, or Save Data Cloud with Nintendo Switch Online. One-way as well.
- Declined the pop-up? The main menu has a “Transfer PS4® Console Save Data” / “Transfer Nintendo Switch™ Save Data” option below the character list.
- Xbox One and Series X|S share the same save if you are online and signed in with the same account.
- Linking a Harry Potter Fan Club account to a WB Games account gives the Beaked Skull Mask and the House Fan-atic School Robe (in your sorted house’s colours). You can check the link in Settings > User Interface Options > WB Games Account.
Questions for players:
- PS5 players: PlayStation Plus cloud or USB stick? Did the transfer pop-up appear on first launch, or did you have to use the option in the main menu?
- Switch 2 players: full system transfer, local “Transfer Save Data” or cloud backup? Did you use the owner’s discount from the physical or digital Switch version?
- Did your character, house, gear and progress all come through as expected?
- After linking your accounts, did the robe and mask appear on your first day at Hogwarts? If not, did a ticket to WB Games Customer Service solve it, and how long did it take?
- On PC (Steam or Epic), WB’s page does not cover save transfers: have you ever needed to move a save between PCs or stores, and how did it go?
Please share your platforms (old and new), the transfer method and what you saw on screen. No save editors, cheats or unofficial tools.
