The Epic Games Store is down right now, which is unfortunate for PC gamers trying to claim the latest free game. Every Thursday, Epic Games Store users have the chance to claim new free games for their digital libraries. Typically, the Epic Games Store free games are given away in the morning, but the latest EGS free game was delayed.
To celebrate The Game Awards, the Epic Games Store revealed that its next free game would be revealed at the big show. Sure enough, Hogwarts Legacy was confirmed as the latest Epic Games Store free game, marking one of the biggest freebies the store has ever given away. Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of 2023 after all, and it’s one of the most popular action-RPGs of all time. To give it away for free on the Epic Games Store is wild, and so it might not be all that surprising that the giveaway has crashed the site.

It’s unclear exactly when the Epic Games Store is going to come back online, but hopefully fans don’t have to wait that much longer. Presumably, the Epic Games Store will start working again once the rush to claim Hogwarts Legacy dies down.
