When is Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions Coming Out?
For those unfamiliar with the game,Harry Potter: Quidditch Championsis a fantasy sports game with a single-player career mode and competitive multiplayer options. It features acast of recognizable characters from theHarry Potterfranchise, including Harry Potter himself, and lets players create their own custom witch or wizard as well if they so desire. What’s been shown ofQuidditch Championsso far looks promising, so it would be understandable for Switch gamers to be disappointed that they have to wait longer to get their hands on the game. However,Harry Potterfans on Switch are likely used to having to wait longer for their ports.
As some may recall,Hogwarts Legacy’s Switch port came a whopping nine monthsafter the game was released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. WhenHogwarts Legacydid finally arrive on Switch, it did so with downgraded graphics and performance compared to the other versions of the game, though that was to be expected. It’s likely thatQuidditch Championson Switch will have to make similar sacrifices, but we have yet to actually see the Switch port in action.
