Hogwarts Legacy PS5 Update Adds Arachnophobia Mode

Hogwarts Legacy received a new PS5 update last night, which adds an Arachnophobia Mode for those who aren’t fans of all the spiders in the game. The enemies have been made visually tolerable, and their skitters and screeches have been removed.

The Arachnophobia Mode can be found under Accessibility Settings and can be toggled on and off anytime. In addition to the changes above, the new mode makes spider corpses invisible, but collision is still active, so players don’t get stuck.

Do note that spider images have not been removed from Field Guides.
