Off the back of a new trailer presented at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022, Avalance Software has shared the pricy Hogwarts Legacy collector's edition. Costing £274.99 on PS4 and £279.99 on PS5, you'll get a copy of the game in a steelbook case and a magic wand that floats in the air when placed above a book detailing the layout of the school of witchcraft and wizardry. The video above shows you how Muggle technology makes it work.
Pre-orders will go live tomorrow at 8am PT/4pm BST, but you can also cop the standard digital version off the PS Store at the same time. This comes in at a more reasonable £64.99 on PS5, and pledging money ahead of time will grant you access to an Onyx Higgogriff Mount after completing a specific quest.

A Deluxe Edition will then cost you £10 extra and gives you three days of early access and the Dark Arts Pack containing cosmetic items and a Thestral Mount. There's also a battle arena where you can test your magical might against increasingly difficult waves of enemies.

279.99?! Whoever buys this has a lot more money than sense.
Oh, silly me, that's for the PS5 version. The PS4 version is only 274.99 - where do I get my preorder in?!
£280 wow thanks a lot Mrs I Live In A Castle, you’re such a champion of working class women by peddling your overpriced crap. CEX standard edition when it’s £20 here I come.
That price is insanity!
I'll just make do with my existing Hermione Granger wand and Gryffindor quidditch jumper thank you very much!
Plus I live 15mins away from Leavesdon studios so can see the actual HP sets etc multiple times for that mad price!
Still excited for the game in general of course.
Good to know it's a life-size floating wand. Imagine if it was smaller than an actual floating wand.
I guess that is probably geared more towards collectors than game players. $300 is fairly steep but only a little more than similar collections for other games.
All I would want is a steelbook edition. Can we get a cheaper version just for that?
Ok I like collector's editions but that price is just ludicrous like 120 is normally what I'd pay for a special edition 150 max besides I have an officially licensed Harry Potter wand already so (shrug). Still so excited definitely a day 1 buy and I agree with JonnyAces can we just get the steelbook on it's own please?
That is a pretty neat special edition but I think I'll just stick with the deluxe edition though.
@paulbuck1996 If you collect CE games its getting way to expensive its not fun anymore. I miss the simple physical editions Steelcase with physical copy of the game, Artbook and a physical soundtrack. If the people want the digital soundtrack one put in on Spotify or whatever.
For that rate it should at least be usable at Universal Orlando…
Far too expensive but that wand and book is really cool
The standard edition can be had for significantly less than the £65ish stated above.
I've just ordered it for the Mrs for just shy of £50 on Shopto.
She's a HP nut!
And I don't mean the brown sauce.
I like the contents of the edition but 280 is nuts. I’ve preordered for £50 and I’ll stick with that.
I think 200 should be the max price for any collector's edition!
These will still sell out and be resold for double the price at CeX, eBay, FB Marketplace, etc.
I have zero interest in the Collector's Edition, will buy the Standard Edition and upgrade digitally to the Deluxe version.
@JonnyAces Hopefully some stores will offer free steelbooks with the Standard or Deluxe Editions.
@paulbuck1996 I really like that setup or with a high quality statue not massive would be a nice thing too. But i found out that i want to cut back and only really get things i really want.
