How to redeem your Epic Games key step by step, with the region rules, the account it binds to, and the pitfall that catches most buyers out.
How to redeem the code
- In the Epic Games Launcher, click your account name in the bottom left.
- Pick 'Redeem Code' and paste the key.
- In a browser, epicgames.com/account/redeem opens the same form.
Region and account
Epic keys are usually worldwide. Individual publishers still limit them to Europe or North America, which is why the region is always printed on the offer.
You need a free Epic account with a confirmed mail address. The code lands on whichever account is signed in and cannot be moved afterwards.
A common pitfall
Playing still requires the Epic Games Launcher, even when the title also exists on another store.
