The June 6 summer update for Hogwarts Legacy has two major new features, a couple of smaller ones, some previously platform-exclusive content unlocked for all, and various bug fixes or changes. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about this update.

Photo mode

The biggest addition included in this update is a new photo mode system. With this system, you can pose your character, adjust settings like depth of field and contrast, add magical frames, change the time of day, and so much more.

Talent point reset

Choosing your talent points is a key part of making your ideal character build in Hogwarts Legacy and you can now freely reset all talent points to reassign them as desired. Before this change, you had to begin an entirely new save and choose your Hogwarts house all over again to choose your talents from scratch.

New items

Three new items were added in this update. These items are:

  • The Lavender Borealis broom, a purple-themed broom you can use.
  • Circular Taped Spectacles that match those famously worn by Harry Potter.
  • Some Azkaban-themed gear inspired by the notorious wizard prison.

Unlocked exclusive assets

A couple of items and one quest were previously only available for specific platforms. As of the June 6 update, the following assets are now available for all players.

  • The Haunted Shop mission that unlocks a special shop in Hogsmeade where you can sell your gear for an increased price once you complete the full quest.
  • The Onyx Hyppogriff mount you can fly around the world on.
  • The Shopkeeper cosmetic set including a jacket, hat, and full-body outfit.
  • The Felix Felicis potion, also known as liquid luck, that highlights the locations of all large loot chests on the map for one day.
