Hogwarts Legacy, Civilization 7, And More Reveal $10 Switch 2 Upgrade Fees

Warner Bros. Games plans to release a rebuilt version of Hogwarts Legacy for the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, with a $10 upgrade fee for existing Switch owners.
This upgrade follows a new industry trend where Switch 2 versions are native builds requiring paid upgrades, unlike prior free updates for next-gen consoles.
The Switch 2 edition includes improved visuals, faster loading, DLSS support, 1080p handheld resolution, mouse controls, and new content leveraging the console's features.
Warner Bros. States the $10 upgrade offers “faster broom flying,” DLSS support, and mouse controls, while the new version sells for $59.99 typically and $49.99 in some regions.
This model signals that many Switch games will implement similar upgrade fees at Switch 2 launch, indicating publishers aim to monetize next-gen ports more frequently.
