Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive, open-world action RPG. Now you can take control of the action and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world.

It is available for the week until Fri 19th December so if you are getting errors then please try again at a later time when hopefully things are a bit quieter.

    I've wanted to play this but not spend any money on it so sweet.

    I'm getting:

    An error occurred during checkout. Please try again later.

    Could be that their server(s) are overloaded with everyone trying at the same time, so I'll try again later as it suggested.

    • mcaekey on 12/12/2025 - 15:30

      Same.

      That will be exactly what it is.
      Same comments in OzB as everyone tying to download at once.

      It’s free for the next week so still plenty of time.

      • Alan6984 on 13/12/2025 - 12:53

        Yep - I've got it now.

    Has the free section disappeared from the Epic store?

    • Huntakillaz on 12/12/2025 - 21:26

      goto browser settings and delete old epic cookies/website data, helped fixed the issue for me on firefox.

      Seems they changed some stuff on the webstie that maybe conflicting with store data

    too many people (me included) tried to claim it as soon as it went free and broke the server

      Okay everyone, now we know who it was that broke it for all the rest of us that were trying at the same time.

        Sorry James - Will try to remember not to pull your leg in the future, but just so you know, I will likely forget :-)

    Working now. Thanks OP!

    Worked for me just now. Thanks OP.

  • Jmunoz on 12/12/2025 - 19:52

    Just got it! early in the morning was impossible

    • bigcheese on 12/12/2025 - 20:01

      Particularly because it wasn’t available until the afternoon! 😃

      • danvelopment on 12/12/2025 - 22:18

        I bet if you greased a palm with the game's RRP you could have gotten a copy this morning.

        Keep that little trick under your hat, though.

  • Lifeline on 12/12/2025 - 21:36

    Did this game flop or what? I remember it being all over gaming media when it was released but haven't heard about it since. Now it's free?? 🙃

    • danvelopment on 12/12/2025 - 22:15

      Probably combo of Baldurs Gate 3 and the fact that the real appeal was the theme and not the game, so once the theme ran out there wasn't enough to the game. Standard fare, really, when the depth is low, how often do you see COD stuff when a new one comes out?

      It was probably a perfectly good game, but not the game itself driving hype.

      No it didn't flop, quite the opposite, it's sold around 35m copies since its release, and to give that number some context, Baldurs Gate 3 has sold around 15m, Alan Wake 2 took nearly a year to sell 2m, and Clair Obscur, the darling that is winning every award under the sun at the moment, and deservedly so, has sold around 5m copies since April. Hogwarts has even outsold Elden Ring. The game has been a juggernaut when it comes to sales for WB.

      I bought it recently, cheap, and it's pretty, but I found it very dull and stopped playing after not long

      • itakestime on 13/12/2025 - 10:41

        Oh man, my partner and I have over 180hrs (combined) on it haha

      • Frisky Grandma on 13/12/2025 - 11:50

        I bought it recently on steam. About 7 hours in and it’s… really good… but you’re right it does get dull.

        IMO much of the game / quests etc feel a bit tedious but it’s good for an hour here or there

    Can you use this on xbox or is this for PC only download?

  • Nick1943 on 13/12/2025 - 11:01

    Working now. Thanks OP!
