Players can expect to compete in the Pyrenees Mountain Valley of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, under the Northern Lights at Durmstrang Institute, and at the familiar setting of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each arena is designed to offer a unique experience, showcasing the diversity within the magical world.

“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” is set to launch on September 3 for a wide range of platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. WB Games has confirmed that, for now, there are no plans to include microtransactions. This statement aims to address player concerns about potential additional costs beyond the initial purchase price.
In previous news updates, there were mixed responses regarding the exclusion of Quidditch in “Hogwarts Legacy.” Critics argued that the omission was a significant drawback, while others appreciated the focus on the storyline.
