This comparison is focused on the PS4/PS4 Pro versions. Comparison of the currentgen versions here: • Hogwarts Legacy | PS5 Xbox Series S...
PS4/PS4 Pro suffer from general downgrades in all settings as expected. However, the visual quality is acceptable.
Drawing distance and lighting are the settings that affect the visual setup the most, placing it at a lower quality than PS5's performance mode.
PS4/PS4 Pro also remove some assets from the environment (vases, paintings and other furniture) to reduce the graphic load.
PS4/PS4 Pro offer the possibility of unlocking the framerate, achieving up to 60fps indoors. Outdoors, the average does not exceed 45fps.
PS4 Pro has trouble keeping the framerate locked outdoors.
Loading times are undoubtedly the most negative point of the PS4 versions. 8 times slower than on PS5.
These loading times also affect the menus and the exploration of the castle. Switching from one room to another can be really tedious. On PS4 this can cause problems in the face of textures or assets.
As a personal recommendation, adding an SSD to PS4/PS4 Pro could considerably solve your problems with loading times.
Avalanche Software has done their job and it looks like the months of delay for the Oldgen version of Hogwarts Legacy have been worth it. With assumable visual cutbacks and okay performance, the PS4 versions are enjoyable.
