Hogwarts Legacy is a fresh fantasy adventure set in the Harry Potter world. As with many big releases, players often seek in-game items and unique rewards that can give a head start. There is no need to buy a deluxe edition or DLC—players simply register on the official Hogwarts Legacy sites and link their accounts to Steam, PSN, or Xbox Live. This guide explains how to do that.

How to get unique rewards in Hogwarts Legacy
Players should visit three pages directly connected to the game. They are all in English. The first step is to go through the registration process. The sequence is as follows:
- Go to the official Hogwarts Legacy website.
- Look for the line in the top right corner that says “Unlock Exclusive Rewards.”
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button “Connect Now.”
- The Wizarding World fan site opens. Choose “Login” in the upper right corner.
- Register or sign in to an existing profile. If you don’t have an account yet, enter your email address and create a password.
- You will be taken to your personal profile.
Here you will run a quick set of prompts. These help determine your faculty, patronus, and wand. Answer the questions as you like—there are no wrong choices. This step cannot be skipped, otherwise in-game rewards will not be granted.
Remark: For PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 players, pairing the console with a VPN may be necessary to connect accounts. The guide below explains how to proceed.
Linking Warner Bros. accounts with PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Steam profiles
- Return to the Hogwarts Legacy page and reopen the menu item “Unlock Exclusive Rewards.”
- Look for the checkboxes next to the options “Login,” “getting sorted,” and “Open your wand.” The line linking accounts will appear as inactive at first.
- Note: If you are in Russia, turning on a VPN can be essential to proceed.
- Click the button that says “Go to WB Games website.”
- Create another account on the WB Games site if needed.
- Then you will be prompted to connect different accounts. Sign in to the platform you wish to use, such as Steam, PSN, or Xbox Live. Multiple platforms can be connected, including Nintendo Switch, which releases Hogwarts Legacy on July 25.
- Open the “Account information” section and click “Verify Email Address,” then follow the link sent to your email to confirm.
- Check the last item in the accounts list. If everything is correct, the line for the Harry Potter fan club should show “Connected.” If it shows “Connect,” click it to link the accounts.
- Return to the page. The line for Link accounts should be marked as connected.
This setup should provide extra in-game items when starting Hogwarts Legacy.
Remark: If playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, ensure the console is connected to the internet via a VPN to link the two accounts. The guide below outlines how to do this.
What rewards can be earned for linking accounts and completing challenges
Rewards include:
- school dress
- mask with beaked skull
The chosen house and wand from the Wizarding World website are reflected in-game as well.
How to Connect PS4 and PS5 to the Internet via VPN
There are several ways to connect a Sony console to a VPN.
Connect via a PC or laptop
Use a PC with a VPN installed and a LAN cable. Follow this setup:
- Open the computer’s Control Panel and select Utilities – Windows, then Control Panel.
- Open the Net or Network Center window.
- Click the active connection and choose Characteristics.
- In the Access tab, enable “Allow other network users to connect through the Internet connection on this computer” and save.
- Launch the console. In network settings, choose “Establish Internet Connection,” scroll to the bottom, select “Set Manually,” pick “Use LAN cable,” and skip a proxy server.
- Connect the PC and PlayStation with a network cable.
Smart DNS method
This option works well if you already use VPN with Smart DNS. It usually requires a paid plan, though a three-day trial is often available. If you want to try it, follow these steps:
- On the PlayStation, open Net and select “Check connection status.” Note the IPv4 address next to the line for reference.
- Access the Smart DNS management page on the VPN site and find the article about activating the IP address. Enter the PlayStation’s IP address. You will receive a Primary and Secondary DNS code. Write them down.
- Return to the PlayStation network settings. Choose “Establish Internet Connection,” select “Set Manually,” and pick “Using Wi-Fi.” In manual DNS settings, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS you obtained.
Router VPN option
Many modern routers support VPN installation. This method is more involved and requires following the router maker’s guidance. Detailed steps vary by model, so consult the official support resources for your device.
