Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Epic Games are bringing Harry Potter to Fortnite, Rocket League, and the Epic Games Store this December.

TL;DR

Harry Potter x Epic Games — Quick Summary

Harry Potter is taking over the Epic ecosystem this December with a free Hogwarts Legacy claim, Fortnite cosmetics, Rocket League events, and cross-game rewards tied to your Epic account.

  • Big picture: Warner Bros. and Epic are running a platform-wide Wizarding World crossover across Fortnite, Rocket League, and the Epic Games Store.
  • Free Hogwarts Legacy: you can claim Hogwarts Legacy for free on Epic Games Store until December 18 (you just need to add it to your library before the deadline).
  • Fortnite reward for playing: log 2 hours of Hogwarts Legacy playtime on Epic Games Store by December 18 to unlock the Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite (ownership alone is not enough).
  • Fortnite cosmetics drop: starting December 18, Fortnite gets Hogwarts house-themed outfits and accessories (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff).
  • Rocket League event: Frosty Fest adds a Hogwarts House Rivalry mode — choose a house, play matches, earn points, and push your team up the leaderboard.
  • Cross-game progression: rewards are linked through your Epic account, nudging you to play multiple games to unlock cosmetics and event progress.
  • More drops teased: Epic hints there may be additional content or timed challenges later in the month.

The collaboration includes a free copy of Hogwarts Legacy, themed cosmetics, and limited-time events that stretch across the entire Epic ecosystem.

Harry Potter Arrives in the Epic Games Ecosystem

Epic is treating the Wizarding World like a true platform-wide integration. Fortnite, Rocket League, and the Epic Games Store are all connected through a shared event. That means your Epic account becomes more than just a login. It is the hub for earning rewards, syncing progression, and experiencing a cross-game celebration.

Hogwarts Legacy Free on Epic Games Store

The most eye-catching offer is Hogwarts Legacy, now free to claim on the Epic Games Store. This deal runs through December 18. The game is a full open world RPG set in the 1800s Hogwarts timeline. If you missed it earlier this year, now is the time to grab it. Just make sure to hit the claim button before the deadline. You do not have to install it right away, but you need to add it to your library before the deal expires.

Exclusive Fortnite Reward for Hogwarts Legacy Players

If you play Hogwarts Legacy on the Epic Games Store and hit two hours of game time before December 18, you will unlock the Chocolate Frog Back Bling in Fortnite. This bonus is tied directly to account activity.

Just owning the game is not enough. You need to spend real time in it. This is Epic’s way of encouraging people to actually engage with the free title instead of letting it sit untouched in their library.

Harry Potter Skins and Cosmetics in Fortnite

Fortnite players are also getting access to house-themed cosmetics starting December 18. There are new outfits and accessories based on the four Hogwarts houses.

Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff each get their own visual style. Whether you want to represent your house or just like the look, it is a clean way to bring a bit of Hogwarts to the battle royale.

Rocket League Frosty Fest and Hogwarts House Rivalry

Rocket League is joining in through its seasonal Frosty Fest event. This year, it includes a Hogwarts House Rivalry mode. You pick your house, play matches, and earn points toward your team’s total. It adds a small competitive angle on top of the usual limited-time event structure. The mode tracks match performance and turns every win into a push for house pride.

Cross-Game Progression and Community Engagement

Epic is using this crossover to show how its games can feed into each other. The Fortnite reward depends on playing Hogwarts Legacy. Rocket League progress ties into your house selection. It is all built around shared incentives that push players to explore different games in the same ecosystem. The approach makes the Epic Games account feel more unified and rewards time spent across titles.

What’s Coming Next

More announcements are coming. The Harry Potter editorial team confirmed that extra content, drops, or updates will be shared later in the month. That includes possible new cosmetics or timed challenges. For now, the live event is in full swing, but players should keep an eye on their feeds in case anything new drops before the holidays wrap.

To get the most out of this event, claim your free copy of Hogwarts Legacy before December 18, play at least two hours to unlock your Fortnite back bling, and pick your house for the Rocket League rivalry. If you are already in the Epic ecosystem, this is a low-effort way to pick up some themed rewards. If you are not, it is an easy excuse to jump in.
