Watch on YouTube Moving on to Hogwarts Legacy - a proper current-gen showcase in its launch iterations on PC, Xbox and PlayStation, the Switch 2 version was presented only as a docked experience. Our time was also cut short a little by having to re-visit the Cyberpunk 2077 booth - we'd identified that the screens at the pods were running in showroom mode (motion smoothing on, maximum brightness, artificial sharpening) but thankfully a friendly Nintendo of Europe staffer worked to get them back to the proper calibrated setting.
