A Nintendo Switch version, along with physical editions of the game, were released on May 18, 2025.
Players were surprised to learn ofHarry Potter: Quidditch Championswhen footage of the game first emerged in 2023. Many expected Quidditch to appear as additional content inHogwarts Legacy, but Warner Bros confirmed in 2023 that there would be no additional content for the open-world RPG. With rumors now circulating thatthe originalHogwarts Legacycould see DLCin the form of a 15-hour story expansion, hope of seeing the sport in Avalanche’s open-world RPG seems unlikely. Still, with the first season ofHarry Potter: Quidditch Championsin full swing, there are new events and rewards for players to explore and earn.
Season 1 ofHarry Potter: Quidditch Championsis titled Defence Against the Dark Arts, and sees the addition of a “Pro Quidditch Mode,” which introduces 6v6 PvP ranked matches. Here, two teams of six will compete in competitive matches to earn rewards, such as the new Hero skins for Bellatrix LeStrange and Severus Snape. Other quality-of-life features include making the Quidditch rings smaller and Aim Assist re-enabled in the Campaign Mode if playing on any mode lower than Champion.
During season 1, players will be able to take on Holiday-themed events throughout Hogwarts, including Holidays at Hogwarts events and the popular annual Yule Ball. Threenew brooms will feature inHarry Potter: Quidditch Champions, each with its own set of skills, and a new Snowy Burrow map will also be available throughout the season.
The new 6v6 update further changes howmatches inHarry Potter: Quidditch Championsdiffer from the books. The Golden Snitch and the Seeker will be on the pitch at all times during a match, and players will not be able to swap between any of the on-field roles once the game has started. As a result of this, the Snitch race has been adjusted to compensate for the extra time on the field, along with reducing the spawn rates of players from 20 seconds down to just seven.
It remains to be seen how Season 1 ofHarry Potter: Quidditch Championswill land with the fans, but Warner Bros is firmly focused on providing access to the franchise.Avalanche is said to be working onHogwarts Legacy 2, and production of the new Harry Potter TV show is about to begin, fans will surely be enjoying the Wizarding World for some time to come.
