While performance is still not where it should be on most system configurations, it is undeniable that Hogwarts Legacy manages to recreate the Wizarding World rather accurately with its high-quality visuals. There’s nothing, however, that cannot be improved, and a new mod shared online this week introduces a small yet noticeable tweak that improves the game’s visuals.
The Improve Lighting Pop-In, Increased Draw Distance mod, which can be downloaded right now from Nexus Mod, is a simple Engine.ini file tweak that increases the lighting draw distance, which makes quite a difference in interiors, as showcased in a comparison video put together by the mod’s creator Taragashi.
Since its release earlier this month, Hogwarts Legacy has received plenty of mods that improve performance, graphics, and gameplay. Those looking into making the game more challenging can also check out this recent mod.
Hogwarts Legacy is now out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S worldwide. The game will release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 4th and on Nintendo Switch later this year, on July 25th. You can learn more about the game by checking out Chris’ review.
Hogwarts Legacy is, for better or worse, an entertaining and engaging game. By far the best digital version of the wizarding world, it offers a vast swathe of things to do. Even the more mundane elements (bandit camps!) are improved by a robust combat system that genuinely makes you feel like you’re a part of the Harry Potter universe.
