- Form the Teams – Use the Party System to form two teams of up to 6 players each.
- Host the Game – One team’s party leader creates the match, customizes the settings to their liking and selects their roles, once they’re done, a join code will be generated to pass to their competitor’s party leader. Game settings include:

- Map Selection
- Score Limit

Map Changes
- Added Weasley’s Burrow (Snow) to Exhibition and Custom Match modes.
- Added a new Hogwarts map variant, Hogwarts (Legacy), to Matchmaking, Exhibition and Custom Match modes.
Gameplay Changes
- The Chaser’s “Tackling” skill tree has been reorganized and rebalanced to focus on tackle radius increases and less on tackle damage. By default, a Chaser will not be able to inflict damage when tackling an opponent, by utilizing the skill tree they can increase this to 1 point of damage (with 4 skill points invested).
- The Keeper’s “Kick Lunge” skill now reduces the lunge amount when you are far away from their goals – Keepers will travel the full lunge amount until they are around 40 meters away from their goal at which point the lunge amount tapers down to a minimum at 90 meters away.
- The impact of a Beater hitting the Quaffle with either a Bludger or a tackle has been increased.
- Added Ireland and Bulgaria as selectable teams in Exhibition matches.

- Fixed an issue that would prevent the Lull VO lines from playing when the score was tied at 0-0 for a long time.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions – Ver. ???
- Release date: December 11th/12th 2024
- Maintenance: Yes (more details)
- Patch notes:
Gameplay Balance/Tuning
- Updated the Keeper’s dive ability to prevent them from overshooting their intended goal and make sure the tuning takes into account the speed stats of the equipped broom.
- Upped the default difficulty of backfill bots in Pro Quidditch to the maximum level.
- Increased the respawn time for all roles to 10 seconds (up from 7 seconds).
Keeper Power Kick
- There were some issues identified with the Keeper and their Power Kick skillpoint incorrectly applying the Power Kick to the Quaffle – For clarification, a Keeper should apply the Power Kick to a Quaffle when one of the following is true:
- They are kicking the Quaffle back into play after being scored on (regardless of skillpoint assignment or charge level of the kick)
- They have the Power Kick skillpoint equipped and kick a loose Quaffle with a perfectly charged kick.
- They have the Power Kick skillpoint equipped and kick an opposing player with possession of the Quaffle with a perfectly charged kick.
- With the above in mind, the following bugs have been fixed:
- Fixed a bug that prevented a Keeper with the Power Kick skillpoint equipped from applying the power kick to a Quaffle that was held by an opposing Chaser at the time of the kick.
- Fixed a bug that allowed a Keeper with the Power Kick skillpoint equipped to sometimes apply the power kick to a Quaffle they kicked from their own possession.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Keeper to kick the Quaffle to themselves when they had a teammate targeted.
General Bugfixing
- Fixed various crashes.
- Fixed a bug that enabled aim assist in Pro Quidditch mode.
- Fixed a bug that applied the reduced Snitch Meter reduction on Bludger hit from Pro Quidditch to Casual Quidditch.
- Fixed a bug that would apply a Copper rank to any player who managed to get above 10,000 SR
- Fixed an issue causing the Postmatch experience gained to not be accurately reflected in the Season XP displayed on the Season Tab. HPQC-627
- Fixed an issue that cause Postmatch scores to appear the same for both teams in Cup Modes.
