Freebie Alert: EGS Suddenly Gives Away Open-World AAA Game Hogwarts Legacy for Free

The Epic Games Store has launched another surprise giveaway—this time offering Hogwarts Legacy, one of the most prominent open-world RPG action games of recent years. The offer is available for a limited time only: you can claim the game for free until May 3.

Hogwarts Legacy lets players explore a meticulously recreated Hogwarts and its surrounding areas, set in the 19th century—long before the events of the Harry Potter books. The game blends action and RPG elements in an open world: mastering spells, brewing potions, flying on broomsticks, taming magical creatures, and uncovering an ancient secret that could shift the balance of power in the wizarding world.

The giveaway includes the standard edition and highlights the game’s main features—single-player adventure, character progression through a talent system, plus extra activities and cosmetic items added post-launch. With AAA giveaways in digital stores being so rare, this promo has already caught the attention of gamers worldwide, despite regional restrictions.

Right now, Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is also free on EGS. Plus, six games (including a werewolf shooter) recently went permanently free on Steam.

Already have Hogwarts Legacy in your library? What did you think of the game? Are you hoping for a sequel?
