The latest patch notes for the Nintendo Switch port of Hogwarts Legacy has proved a source of amusement for the game’s players on Twitter.

It’s not entirely unusual for games to deliver large patch notes alongside their updates. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl also recently released 81 pages of patch notes for their update 1.3 as an example.

Hogwarts Legacy’s Switch port, which arrived on November 14, 2023, arrived with some setbacks. As a result, fans have been asking for sizeable updates right away, and the December 14 patch stole the show on social media for one reason: Its length.
