The Epic Games Store is providing free access to Dead Cells on its mobile app and Hogwarts Legacy on PC this week. These offers are available until next Thursday, allowing users to add the games to their libraries permanently. The promotions highlight Epic's ongoing commitment to weekly freebies across platforms.
Overview
The Epic Games Store continues its tradition of weekly free games, now extending to both PC and mobile platforms. This week's offerings cater to different audiences, with a roguelike action title for mobile users and a blockbuster RPG for PC gamers. All claims require a free Epic account, and games remain in your library forever once added.
Mobile Free Game: Dead Cells
On the Epic Games Store mobile app, Dead Cells is available for free from December 12 to December 19, 2025. Described as one of the best roguelike games, Dead Cells features fast-paced action, rewarding combat, weapons experimentation, and challenging bosses. The app is accessible worldwide on Android devices and limited to iOS users in the European Union. Android users can also access it via emulation on devices like the Retroid Pocket. To claim, install the app, log in, and add the game before the window closes. The mobile library includes other titles like Loop Hero, Chuchel, and Chicken Police: Paint it Red, with Android-exclusive options such as Endling: Extinction is Forever.
PC Free Game: Hogwarts Legacy
For PC users, Hogwarts Legacy is the free offering this week, available until December 19, 2025. Set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter decades before the main events, the game follows a student at Hogwarts uncovering a sinister plot. It became a smash hit, selling over 30 million copies across platforms since its release. Claims start every Thursday at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, and Epic often provides multiple freebies during the holiday season, with daily offers expected from December 18.
