How do I promote my Steam account to a full Epic Games account?

  1. Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

    • Sign-in information for the Steam account you want to connect to your Epic Games account. Check on your Steam to confirm it’s the correct account you want to connect.

    • An email address that is not currently linked to an Epic Games account

    • A computer or mobile device with an internet connection

  2. Check that you are not currently logged in any Steam or Epic Games account

  3. Open a browser (in incognito mode if possible) on your computer or mobile device and go to www.epicgames.com

  4. On the top-right of the site, click the Sign in button
    Note: If you do not see a Sign in button, click the avatar at the top of the screen and click Sign Out to ensure you are not signed in to the wrong account. Once signed out, click the Sign in button.
