At The Game Awards 2025, Epic Games officially announced that Hogwarts Legacy is the latest title to join its traditional holiday AAA free game promotion. For a limited time, the full PC version is available to claim at no charge through the Epic Games Store.
Stay Updated on Free Games
Epic Games has announced that their weekly free game giveaways will continue indefinitely. To ensure you don’t miss out on future free games on Epic or Steam, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Steam for timely reminders.
Unlike most weeks, Epic Games kept this giveaway under wraps until the very last moment. Instead of its usual preview, the store featured a mystery image resembling a gift-wrapped present, teasing fans ahead of The Game Awards livestream. The reveal turned out to be a major one, with Hogwarts Legacy emerging as the headline free title.
Given the scale and popularity of the game, the announcement immediately stood out as one of Epic’s biggest holiday giveaways so far.
Epic’s Year-End Free Games Tradition
Epic Games has built a reputation for delivering high-value free games during the festive season. Each year, the store ramps up its giveaways with back-to-back releases, often including critically acclaimed and commercially successful titles. Past holiday events have featured games such as Control, Sifu, and Dredge, and 2025 is continuing that trend in a big way.
Adding Hogwarts Legacy to the lineup reinforces Epic’s agressive strategy of attracting new users with AAA games (rather than smaller indie titles that we usually get).
How to Add Hogwarts Legacy to Your Library
Getting the game is quick and straightforward:
- Sign in to your Epic Games Store account
- Find Hogwarts Legacy on the store page
- Claim it before the promotion ends
Once claimed, the game remains permanently linked to your account.
The offer runs until December 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. EST, after which Epic will rotate in the next free mystery title.
