Hogwarts Legacy is the new free game from the Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store surprised players by announcing Hogwarts Legacy as the new free title of the week. The acclaimed RPG set in the Harry Potter universe can be redeemed for free until next week, remaining forever in the library of those who claim it within the promotional period.

The game, originally released in 2023, puts the player as a newly arrived student at Hogwarts in the late 19th century, freely exploring the castle, practicing magic, facing creatures, and participating in missions that expand the magical world in an unprecedented way. The combination of open world, engaging narrative, and fidelity to the lore made Hogwarts Legacy one of the biggest successes of the year it was released.

The offer is part of Epic's traditional weekly promotions, but the title is one of the biggest ever made available for free by the platform, attracting attention for the scale and weight of the franchise. The redemption can be done directly through the Epic Games Store, at no additional cost.

Players have only a few days to secure the game — after that, it returns to its normal price. If you've always wanted to live your own adventure in the Hogwarts universe, this is the best opportunity.
