Less than a month before its launch, Hogwarts Legacy has revealed a fully detailed list of PC system requirements for various presets. The reveal of the Hogwarts Legacy's system requirements has confirmed that players are going to need a pretty beefy build if they want a smooth 4K experience.
Avalanche Software shared four different PC specs for multiple presets and resolutions on its official Twitter account. For the least acceptable experience at the 720p resolution with 30 frames per second, you are going to need at least an Nvidia GTX 960 or a Radeon RX 470 paired with an Intel Core-i5 6600 or an AMD Ryzen 5 1400.
On the other hand, for the most superior experience at 4K resolution with constant 60FPS, Hogwarts Legacy will require an RTX 3090Ti or a Radeon RX 7900 XT along with an Intel Core-i7 10700 or an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X as the central processor. Regardless of your quality preset, the game needs 85 GB of free space on your PC. For those who want to have a smooth experience with faster load times, an SSD is suggested.
Here, you can read through the PC specs for each preset:

The fact that the game requires 16 GB of RAM even for the minimum specs is somehow strange, as most cross-gen titles require only 8 GB of RAM for the minimum experience. Hogwarts Legacy will use Denuvo anti-tamper on PC similar to Gotham Knights, the recent launch from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment that eventually removed Denuvo a few days after release to improve performance.
