Hogwarts Legacy is shaping up to be one of the most popular games in 2024, but can you play Hogwarts Legacy on Mac? and/or can you play Hogwarts Legacy on MacBooks? The answer, unfortunately, is no. There’s been absolutely no word of a Mac release for the game, and there probably won’t be one for the foreseeable future.

Will there ever be one though? Well, that’s a matter for debate.

In the meantime though, do have a read of our best gaming laptop for Hogwarts Legacy and best gaming PC for Hogwarts Legacy guides, for the best Windows solutions.

Will there be a Hogwarts Legacy Mac release date? Our prediction

Although there isn’t likely to be a Hogwarts Legacy release date any time soon, this fact alone doesn’t mean it will never come out on the platform. A great number of popular PC titles find their way onto Mac after their release on Windows, and given the money-making potential of the Hogwarts Legacy franchise, the developers/publishers could deem it worth the effort.

That being said, there is a much bigger number of games that never make it over to Apple’s platform. The unfortunate fact is that games are not well-optimized to work with MacOS. Even those titles that you can play on Mac systems will not run as well as they will on Windows. From what we’ve seen Howarts Legacy performance issues abound even with the PC version, which may make its transition to Mac systems less likely.

On balance, we’d say it’s probably less likely Hogwarts Legacy will come to Mac for these technical reasons, though this is by no means certain. If it does come out though, expect a Hogwarts Legacy Mac release date to be in 2024 or later.
