One Hogwarts Legacy player has noticed something interesting about the weather in the video game, noting just how detailed the environmental effects are. Hogwarts Legacy launched only six months ago and has had much success within the gaming community, so it is not surprising for fans to catch these details from time to time.

Though not much news has come from the development team about the future of Hogwarts Legacy, the title seems to still have a decent amount of players. The action RPG has a beautiful open-world system, plenty of activities to accomplish, and amazing environments to explore, so fans probably find themselves spending hours trying to discover everything the game has to offer. And these discoveries might even be something as simple as noticing the little details the development team have added to the in-game weather, just to ensure that the experience is as immersive as possible.

On Reddit, user Gallifreyan98724 posted a short Hogwarts Legacy video that demonstrated their thoughts on how detailed the action RPG is. The footage shows the player’s character running down a road outside of Hogwarts Castle with Natsai Onai, one of the Gryffindor students in Hogwarts Legacy, when a light drizzle comes down on them. The Redditor then pauses their character’s movement to focus on the raindrops, noting in the caption the game’s level of detail and stating that even small raindrops from the environment can actually be seen hitting their character’s robes.

Given how Hogwarts Legacy‘s PC requirements for Ultra settings can be quite heavy, this amount of detail should already be expected by players. One comment on the Reddit thread hoped that this effect could also be seen on the PlayStation 5, but others assured them that the PS5 does have this level of detail, even if the game is being played on console. One also hoped that the game offered actual weather patterns and storms, noting that the game only had constant sprinkles, but fellow fans attributed the climate to the game’s Scotland location.

Beyond the game’s detailed weather effects, there are still many features of Hogwarts Legacy that players will probably enjoy in their playthrough. The main story does not hold players back too much from exploring most of Hogwarts Castle and the secrets that its surrounding grounds hold. What’s more, with the many puzzles, caves, and dungeons begging to be explored, fans will probably spend plenty of hours discovering and solving each one.

Hogwarts Legacy is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A Switch version is currently in development.
