Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy is currently 100% free to download and keep for millions of gamers. Avalanche Studios, Portkey Games, and Warner Bros. are currently hard at work on the sequel, but if you're wondering what all the fuss is about, you can now check out the first game. Better yet, you won't even need a console to do it.

Based on what we've heard from previous reports, Hogwarts Legacy 2 will go for a more modern setting to tie in to the HBO adaptation in some way. The original Hogwarts Legacy, of course, takes place around 100 years before the events of Harry Potter, letting you explore a Wizarding World free from the likes of Voldemort.

At Screen Rant, William Cennamo awarded Hogwarts Legacy a 9/10 in his review, writing: "Hogwarts Legacy is a wonderful game filled to the brim with adventures to be had, activities to engage in, and secrets to be found. The school and the surrounding areas have been recreated beautifully, and players will easily lose hours lost in the whimsical splendor of this wizarding world."

While it may not have given us any substantial expansions or DLC since its launch back in February 2023, it's still a massive open-world game with plenty to sink your teeth into. I'd argue it gets a little repetitive before long, but to each their own.

Anyway, at the time of writing Hogwarts Legacy has joined other major titles like Star Wars: Galactic Racer as free downloads for Amazon Luna, the free gaming service included with all Amazon Prime subscriptions. This is a cloud streaming service, meaning you don't need a PC or console to play the games: just a decent internet connection and a controller.

Just recently, Amazon Luna added the ability for users in the U.K. and USA. to access its library of games via the Prime Video TV app on FireTVs, giving us the option to stream games directly through our televisions without needing a game console or PC. So, if for whatever reason you haven't picked up a console since the PS3/Xbox 360 era, this could be your route back into gaming.

It's worth noting that the Luna library rotates, so Hogwarts Legacy may not remain there forever. However, at the time of writing there's no indication that it's leaving the service any time soon, so you can probably relax.

Other titles currently available for free with Amazon Luna include:

• EA SPORTS Madden NFL 27
• Mixtape
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
• NBA THE RUN
• Star Wars Outlaws
• Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed
• Assassin's Creed Mirage
• Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
• Sonic X Shadow Generations
• Police Simulator: Patrol Officers
• A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead
• Fortnite

In other Harry Potter news, a new game called Defenders of Hogwarts was recently released. This is a tabletop adventure that takes players back to the epic final battle between Harry and Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts. Designed by MinaLima and recommended for two to five players, 90-minute games will see you immerse yourself in the epic battle between good and evil.
