Clarification regarding pre-order rollouts and exclusives

Here it is in text form in case you don't have/use twitter:

We're aware of the confusion that has sparked following the rollout of Pre-Orders, and we acknowledge and apologize for the frustration caused in our Community.

The team hears you and we'd like to provide some clarity on questions that have come up:

Regarding Collector’s Edition availability, Collector’s Editions are going live with our retailers on a rolling basis and links are updated on http://hogwartslegacy.com as we receive them. (2/8)

For clarity, Pre-Order of the PS4 and PS5 editions (Standard, Deluxe, Digital Deluxe, and Collector’s) will come with the Felix Felicis Potion Recipe. (3/8)

All PlayStation editions will come with the Exclusive Quest; no Pre-Order is required to obtain it. More information around Sony exclusives is coming soon. (4/8)

Regarding some confusion around the Dark Arts Pack and potential microtransactions, there are NO microtransactions in Hogwarts Legacy. (5/8)

Players with the Standard Edition will be given the option to purchase the Dark Arts Pack in-game separately at launch if they would like to upgrade. There are no other items for purchase in-game. (6/8)

A Wizarding World account OR WB Games account is NOT REQUIRED to play Hogwarts Legacy. (7/8)

Again, we’d like to reiterate that we understand the frustrations around the experience for the Community yesterday. Thank you for your continued excitement and passion for Hogwarts Legacy. (8/8)
