Hogwarts Legacy, the open-world action role-playing game set in the wizarding world introduced in the Harry Potter books, is now free to claim on the Epic Games Store. Developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros, the game was launched back in February of 2023 and was one of the highest-selling games of the year.
Hogwarts Legacy is set almost a century prior to the events of Harry Potter books and films, and features a detailed recreation of Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and the surrounding Scottish Highlands.
The single-player game puts gamers in the shoes of a fifth-year student who possesses a forgotten magic power. The main narrative is set around a goblin rebellion and a faction of dark wizards who want to get the secret power.
Featuring spell-based combat, class activities, and customisable characters, the game lets players choose their own story instead of following a fixed path like the books. At The Game Awards 2025, Geoff Keighley announced that the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy would be free to claim on the Epic Games Store until December 18.
For those wondering, the base version of the game usually sells on Steam for Rs 3,999, while the Digital Deluxe Edition is currently priced at Rs 4,699. The game takes around 80GB of space, so make sure you have at least 100GB of free space.
