While you may not think Hogwarts itself would be a very large area, Hogwarts Legacy's open world encompasses far more than just the titular castle. As soon as you set foot on campus and pop open your map, you'll soon realize just how vast a space there is to explore, as well as how long it will take to actually get around. Just like in the books, there are handy ways of getting around that are unavailable to us muggles. Fast travel is thankfully available very early on, so here's how you can utilize it to make sure you get to class on time.

How to fast travel

Fast travel in Hogwarts Legacy is done through something called Floo Flames that you will encounter in the first mission of the game.

Step 1: Interact with your first Floo Flame during the main mission.

Step 2: As you explore the map, approach more Floo Flames around the map to activate them. You can spot them on the map via the green flame icon.

Step 3: After you get close enough to one, it will become an active fast travel point.

Step 4: When you want to fast travel, open your map and highlight any active Floo Flame and select Travel to instantly zip to that spot.

The PlayStation Portable, or the PSP, was discontinued over a decade ago, but its cultural presence never fully faded. Most recently, the fast-fashion brand Zara gave it a second life in the most unexpected form: the company has dropped a crossbody bag modelled after the PSP 1000. 

The Zara PSP Crossbody Bag is exactly as delightful and absurd as the name sounds. The shadow drop came without an announcements or media campaigns, but the retro gaming community has already taken notice of it.

Unreal Engine 6 is officially here, but I’m still holding my breath
Rocket League brings the hype, but gamers still want proof.

For years, Unreal Engine has been the backbone of modern AAA gaming. Now, Epic is already preparing the next chapter, and surprisingly, Rocket League is leading the charge. Honestly, that part is kind of amazing. After spending years trapped on Unreal Engine 3, Rocket League fans are finally getting a modern engine upgrade, which feels long overdue.

And yes, the teaser looked exciting. Cleaner visuals, a connected ecosystem, and a glimpse at what Epic clearly wants to position as the next era of Unreal. But while the hype train is already leaving the station, I think I’m gonna stay on the platform for a little longer. Because right now, UE6 feels more like a vision statement than an actual engine reveal.
