If you do not plan to play Hogwarts Legacy on any current generation platforms, and you’re going to be playing on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One, purchasing the Deluxe Edition would not be a good idea. For anyone content enough to play the game when it officially releases, you’re better off grabbing the standard edition, which does feature the Onyx Hippogriff, Felix Felicis Potion, and the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest. You miss out on the 72 hours of early access and the Dark Arts Pack, which is primarily cosmetic.

It all comes down to if you want to play the game in early access. If you do not, grabbing the standard edition of Hogwarts Legacy is the better option. Outside of the cosmetic items and the early access, the Deluxe Edition doesn’t offer too much to players and gives them multiple rewards.
