Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions UK release time and where to play it-Kenneth Andersen-Entertainment – Metro

Be a keeper, like Ron (Sony)

The Harry Potter game dedicated to Quidditch is out now, but it’s free to play if you own the right console.

While 2023’s Hogwarts Legacy was hugely successful, in terms of both sales and critical acclaim, with our review calling it ‘the best Harry Potter game ever made’, the one thing it didn’t offer was a game of Quidditch.

A year and a half later and those who wanted the high-flying sport in Hogwarts Legacy can finally play it in Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions – a game dedicated entirely to it.

Published by Warner Bros. and developed by Unbroken Studios, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is out now and free for 30 days if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions UK release time and date

Quidditch Champions came out on Tuesday, September 3, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, costing £24.99.

It’s also confirmed it will be released on Nintendo Switch, but there’s no date for that version yet.

In the UK, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions comes out on Xbox and PlayStation at midday, but not until 2pm on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Is Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions on PlayStation Plus?

Yes. Quidditch Champions launched on PlayStation Plus day one, and is free for all members to play.

Starting Tuesday, September 3, PS Plus Essential subscribers will be able to play the standard edition of the game for 30 days following its release.

PlayStation Plus Essential is the cheapest of Sony’s three membership plans, and costs £6.99 per month.

Although Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions won’t be available on Game Pass, you do need a subscription to play its multiplayer modes.

What is Quidditch Champions?

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a single and multiplayer game based on the sport invented by J. K. Rowling in the books.

In Quidditch Champions each player holds a specific position during a match, while flying on a broomstick, as seen in the films.

The different positions include chaser, seeker, beater, and keeper, with chaser being the one trying to catch the Golden Snitch, which can instantly win the whole match.

Quidditch Champions comes with six maps and three game modes: career mode, exhibition matches, and competitive online games.

Warner Bros. has more Harry Potter video games planned for the future, but it’s still not clear if and when a Hogwarts Legacy 2 will be announced.
