Hogwarts Legacy launched in 2023 and quickly grew into one of the most talked-about action RPGs, thanks to its expansive open world and its richly detailed Wizarding World setting. If you’ve been curious about exploring Hogwarts for yourself but never wanted to pay full price, there’s a limited-time opportunity to grab the game for free.
At the moment, Hogwarts Legacy is available on the Epic Games Store at 100% off. The game typically sells for $59.99, but you can claim it and add it to your library without spending anything. This giveaway is separate from the store’s usual weekly free game lineup, making it a standout deal for anyone who’s been waiting for the right moment to jump in.
The key detail is the deadline: this free offer is only available until May 3. After that date, the game is expected to return to its standard price. If you claim it before the offer ends, it remains in your library permanently.
For players new to the game, Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action role-playing game set in the Harry Potter universe, but it takes place in the 1800s—well before the events of the books and films. You step into the role of a Hogwarts student who discovers access to a mysterious ancient power. From there, the game opens up into a full magical adventure where you can explore the Hogwarts castle, wander surrounding hamlets and villages, and uncover hidden areas across iconic wizarding locations. Along the way, you’ll learn spells, brew potions, and improve your abilities as you shape your character’s progression.
The game has also built a strong reputation among players. It has accumulated more than 140,000 user reviews on Steam, with 91% rated positive, earning it a Very Positive overall rating. It’s also verified for Steam Deck, and players can use a third-party launcher to run it there.
If Hogwarts Legacy has been sitting on your “play someday” list, this is one of the best chances to finally experience its open-world wizarding adventure—without paying the usual price. Just make sure to claim it before May 3 to keep it forever.
