How to Claim Your Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Bonus

The magic of Hogwarts Legacy extends beyond the main game, with a range of enticing bonuses for those who opted for the Deluxe Edition. If you’re wondering how to access these exclusive rewards, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will break down exactly how to claim your Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition content and address some common questions along the way.

Essentially, claiming your Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe bonus depends largely on how you purchased the game:

Digital Deluxe Edition: If you purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition, you should have automatic access to your bonus content. This means that the extras are already linked to your account and will appear in-game once you’ve reached the appropriate points in the story.
Physical Deluxe Edition: If you purchased a physical copy of the game, you’ll likely find code vouchers inside the game box. These codes are the key to unlocking your Deluxe Edition content. You will need to redeem these codes using either your PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Steam client.

Redeeming Physical Copy Codes

If you have a physical copy of Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition, here’s a detailed breakdown on how to redeem those codes:

Step-by-step instructions:

Locate your codes: Check inside your game box for leaflets or cards containing the 12-digit codes. There should be at least two: one for the Dark Arts Pack and another for the PlayStation-exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade Shop quest (if on PlayStation).
Access your platform’s store: Depending on your platform, navigate to the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Steam client.
Redeem the code: There should be a “Redeem Code” or similar option within the store. Follow the instructions and enter the 12-digit code accurately.
Download and install: Once your code is successfully redeemed, the bonus content will begin downloading and installing. Ensure your console or PC is connected to the internet.
Launch the game: Start Hogwarts Legacy and your bonus content should now be available.

Accessing In-Game Content

Once your bonus content is redeemed (either automatically for digital versions or through code redemption for physical copies), here’s how to find it in the game:

Mounts (Thestral and Onyx Hippogriff)

You will unlock flying mounts after you reach level 17 and have completed the quest “The High Keep”.
To change your flying mount to the Onyx Hippogriff or Thestral Mount, access your Field Guide. Then navigate to the Gear section, and you should be able to select your desired mount.
Note that you will need the Dark Arts Pack to access the Thestral Mount. The Onyx Hippogriff is a pre-order bonus.

The Dark Arts Pack

Cosmetics: The Dark Arts Cosmetic Set is found in the Gear menu. Change your appearance (instead of selecting specific gear).
Battle Arena: You will need to progress far enough in the story to unlock access to the Dark Arts Battle Arena.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you are encountering issues with your Deluxe Edition content not appearing, here are some troubleshooting tips:

Verify account connectivity: Confirm that your WB Games account is connected correctly to your platform account.
Check for installation: Make sure that the bonus content has been fully downloaded and installed.
Game progress: Some bonus content may not be available until you’ve progressed to a certain point in the game’s storyline.
Restart game/console/PC: Sometimes a full restart can solve issues.
Contact support: If the issues persist, contact WB Games support or your platform’s support for further assistance.
