The highly anticipated game, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, has finally been released, offering fans the chance to immerse themselves in the magical sport of Quidditch. The game, which allows players to take on the roles of various Quidditch positions while soaring on broomsticks, is available on multiple platforms. Notably, PlayStation Plus subscribers can access the game for free for 30 days. This release fills a notable gap left by Hogwarts Legacy, satisfying fans who have eagerly awaited a dedicated Quidditch experience.

What is Quidditch Champions?

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a single and multiplayer game that brings the high-flying sport of Quidditch, as imagined by J.K. Rowling, to life. Players can take on specific roles—chaser, seeker, beater, and keeper—while flying on broomsticks, emulating the thrilling matches depicted in the Harry Potter series. Each position has a unique role, with the chaser aiming to catch the Golden Snitch, which can secure an instant victory.

Game Features: Maps and Modes

The game features six meticulously designed maps and three distinct game modes: career mode, exhibition matches, and competitive online games. These modes offer a variety of experiences, from casual play to intense competition, catering to both solo players and those looking to test their skills against others online.

Filling the Void Left by Hogwarts Legacy

While Hogwarts Legacy was a massive success, both in terms of sales and critical acclaim, it notably lacked a Quidditch component. A year and a half later, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions arrives to fill this void, offering a game dedicated entirely to the beloved wizarding sport. This release is expected to resonate strongly with fans who have been longing for a comprehensive Quidditch experience.

Release Details and Availability

Published by Warner Bros. and developed by Unbroken Studios, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions launched on September 3rd for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, priced at £24.99. While the game is confirmed to release on Nintendo Switch, a specific date for that version has not yet been announced. In the UK, the game was available on Xbox and PlayStation at midday, while Steam and Epic Games Store users had to wait until 2 pm.

Exclusive PlayStation Plus Offer

Starting Tuesday, September 3rd, PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can access the standard edition of Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions for free for 30 days following its release. This offer is part of Sony’s PlayStation Plus Essential plan, which costs £6.99 per month. However, it’s worth noting that the game won’t be available on Xbox Game Pass, and a subscription is required to access the multiplayer modes.

This latest addition to the Harry Potter gaming universe is set to captivate fans with its authentic Quidditch gameplay, offering both nostalgic and new experiences for players across platforms.
