AHogwarts Legacyplayer didn’t realize they had to manually claim their rewards in the game until after they had already completed all the quests.Hogwarts Legacyis a massive game with a healthy number of main quests and side quests for witches and wizards to complete, and the rewards players can earn along the way help to make things a little easier.
Hogwarts Legacyhas challengesthat players can complete to earn special rewards. These rewards are doled out when players hit certain milestones in combat, quest completion, collectible hunting, etc. Oftentimes the rewards come in the form of new cosmetic items or gear for players to outfit theirHogwarts Legacycharacter with, but sometimes they are more important, like the storage expansion one gets for completing Merlin Trials.

In most games, rewards like this are earned automatically. Once players satisfy their requirements, they immediately get the reward. Reddit user nilerafter assumedHogwarts Legacyworked the same way, but didn’t realize until after they had already finished the main story and all the side quests that they needed to go into the game’s menus and manually claim the rewards. This meant that even though they werecompleting Merlin Trials, they weren’t getting the much-needed storage capacity increases.
Hogwarts Legacyplayers that don’t increase their storage slots are going to have a rougher time when compared to those that do go out of their way to complete Merlin Trials and redeem their rewards.Hogwarts Legacygear is plentiful, with players stumbling upon all kinds of loot during their adventure. Without the slot capacity increases,Hogwarts Legacyplayers have to spend more time scrapping and selling items. This is a nice heads-up for those who are just now starting theirHogwarts Legacyadventure with the freshly-released PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game so they don’t make the same mistake as others have.
Nilerafter isn’t the onlyHogwarts Legacyplayer that didn’t realize they needed to manually claim their rewards. It seems like it would be a helpful quality of life feature for the rewards to be redeemed automatically, so perhaps that will be considered for a future update.Hogwarts Legacyjust received a big updatethat addressed many lingering problems with the game ahead of its PS4 and Xbox One launch, and so one has to imagine that future updates are a possibility as well.
After all,Hogwarts Legacystill has one other platform to release on before it’s all said and done. TheNintendo Switch version ofHogwarts Legacyis due to launch on July 25. No plans have been announced in regard to the Switch version of the game launching alongside any kind of update, but hopefully a helpful quality of life improvement like automatic reward redemption is at least being considered.
Hogwarts Legacyis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with a Nintendo Switch version releasing July 25.
