Only 24 Hours Left to Get a AAA Game for Free

December 17, 2025, 10:08am

Throughout the year, Epic Games offers up a new free game every week or so. Though the offers themselves are limited, once players claim the free games, they are added permanently to their Epic Games library. Some seriously great games have been offered up for free over the years, but few have been quite as surprising as the current free game offer on Epic Games. At The Game Awards, the PC gaming platform revealed that Hogwarts Legacy would be free until December 18th.

Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most popular games released in recent years. The open-world RPG set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter continues to sell well across platforms, even 2 years after release. So, it’s pretty surprising that Epic Games is giving it away entirely for free until December 18th. If you haven’t yet added Hogwarts Legacy to your library, you’ve got just about a day to do so before the deal expires.

Hogwarts Legacy is a game that almost needs no introduction. By now, many diehard Harry Potter fans have likely already picked up the game. But as a AAA title from WB Games, it isn’t cheap at full price. Typically, Hogwarts Legacy costs $59.99, so the free game deal will certainly save you some money. The game does go on sale fairly often at this point, but you’re not going to get a better deal than free. And if you play Fortnite, you’ll get an extra in-game item for playing Hogwarts Legacy via Epic Games.

So, should you snag Hogwarts Legacy while it’s free? If you like Harry Potter or enjoy magical open-world RPGs, but haven’t yet played the game, it may be worth adding to your library. The PC version of the RPG boasts Very Positive reviews on Steam and is a solid story with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. That said, it is somewhat graphics-intensive, so you may want to double-check your PC specs before claiming the game.
