Hogwarts Legacy Made Totally Free To Claim and Keep, No Strings Attached
In a magical surprise for PC gamers, the bestselling RPG Hogwarts Legacy is now completely free to claim and own. The announcement was made during The Game Awards 2025, offering a limited-time opportunity to add the critically acclaimed title to your library at no cost.
The offer is live exclusively on the Epic Games Store. Players have until December 18 to permanently add the game to their Epic account. This is a full acquisition, not a trial, making it an exceptional chance for anyone who has yet to experience the wizarding world adventure set long before the events of Harry Potter.
Alongside the game itself, there is a bonus for those who dive in. Playing Hogwarts Legacy for at least two hours during the promotion period will unlock an exclusive Harry Potter-inspired Back Bling cosmetic for Fortnite. The item will appear automatically in your Fortnite locker and is yours to keep forever.
Notably, if you have already played two hours or more of Hogwarts Legacy on the Epic Games Store prior to this promotion, you will also qualify for the free Fortnite cosmetic. The offer has proven incredibly popular, causing reported traffic surges on the Epic platform, so persistence may be needed to complete your claim.
First released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy was the year’s top-selling game, praised for its captivating world, faithful art direction, and engaging gameplay. This free promotion arrives during a period of transition for the IP, following the recent acquisition of Warner Bros. by Netflix.
Despite the corporate changes, developer Avalanche Software has confirmed a sequel is in development. Promises to expand upon and refine the open-world experience of the first game have built significant anticipation for the next installment.
