How do I add friends to my Epic Games account?

You can add up to 1,000 friends to your Epic Games account using the Epic Games Launcher or the Epic Games Mobile App. It isn't possible to add friends directly through the Epic Games Store website.

To add friends using the Launcher:

  2. Click on the icon with the double silhouette in the top right corner. This will display your Friends' List.
  3. Click on the silhouette with the plus sign to open the "Add friend" section.
  4. Enter the Epic Games Display name of the player you want to add as a friend.
    Note: You can use partial words to help find the name you’re looking for.
  5. When you’ve located the correct name from the results, click on it. A second window will appear with a brief profile for the player.
  6. Click on Add friend to send the friend request.

To add friends using the Mobile App:
