  4. Next, in the search box, 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 (e.g. type “Epic” and the name “Epic Games” will appear in your results)
  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. Choose “ADD EPIC FRIEND” to send the friend request.
