They left Final System Requirements for Hogwarts Legacy PC Edition, the open-world action RPG set in the universe (and especially the school!) of Harry Potter. The announcement comes a little less than a month after the start of the game's sales -remember that the date is set for February 10 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series, except of course last minute surprises-.
Avalanche had posted a spec list in the past, but it turns out that the game is more expensive than expected initially. In fact, the minimum CPU and GPU requirements have even decreased, but the performance target with the same presets has also been lowered: from 1080p@60FPS to 720p@30FPS. In addition, the minimum RAM memory has gone from 8 GB to 16 GB. This is the updated mirror:

It is worth noting that "ultra" specs designed for 1440p gaming are brand new. In fact, it's the same ultra 4K range with understandably less demanding video cards.
Hogwarts Legacy will be set a couple of centuries before the Harry Potter story told in the books by JK Rowling. AND a release for Nintendo Switch and previous generation consoles is also planned, but we will have to wait a little longer: April 4 for PS4 and Xbox One, July 25 for Switch.
