Hogwarts Legacy is set in the 1800s, much before the events of the Harry Potter books. You play as a Hogwarts student with access to ancient magic. As you go along, you can explore the castle, attend classes, learn spells, and take on different quests.

The PC version has also improved over time, with updates adding better performance and support for features like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR.

The game is available to claim till May 3. Epic usually refreshes its free games weekly, so this offer will be replaced once the deadline passes.
