Hogwarts Legacy
ホグワーツ・レガシー · 霍格華茲的傳承
- Perfect: No noticeable issues start to finish
- Playable: Can be finished; minor glitches or slowdowns
- In-game: Gets in-game, but issues get in the way
- Menus: Reaches the title screen or menus only
- Boots: Starts, then hangs on a black screen or intro
- Nothing: Does not start
It gets in-game but isn't really enjoyable yet. Citron lists it as Playable, and Citron NEO 2026-03-27 added ETC2 texture support that fixed rendering problems; Ryubing lists it as In-game (the flicker and performance issues common to Unreal Engine 4 games, slow). The original Ryujinx had an August 2024 regression where interiors didn't render and the image kept getting brighter, and even 2025 test videos on Ryubing and Eden put a question mark after Playable in their titles. There are no public Mac, iPhone/iPad or Android tests yet.
Settings & known issues
- Use Citron NEO 2026-03-27 or newer (ETC2 texture support fixes rendering).
- Use Vulkan on Ryubing and Eden (the setting used in test videos).
