Epic Gives Away Hogwarts Legacy on PC for a Week as Holiday Sale Kicks Off

The weeklong offer serves as the Holiday Sale’s marquee draw, paired with a Fortnite cosmetic reward for players who log two hours in the RPG.

Overview

  • Epic announced during The Game Awards that Hogwarts Legacy is free to claim on the Epic Games Store through December 18, after which it remains in users’ libraries permanently.
  • Claiming requires an Epic account and using the store’s Get/Buy flow to add the Standard Edition at no cost.
  • Players who claim and play at least two hours on the same Epic account receive Fortnite’s Chocolate Frog Back Bling, with the reward tracked automatically.
  • Epic confirmed house-themed Hogwarts outfits are coming to the Fortnite shop later this month, expanding the crossover beyond the Back Bling.
  • Heavy demand caused intermittent errors on the Epic storefront, and the giveaway opens a Holiday Sale that outlets report will include a total of 17 free titles over the season.
