How to Redeem Epic Games Codes (2026) — FAST & EASY Guide
3 min read
Just got an Epic Games code and not sure how to redeem it? Here are both methods — through the Epic Games Launcher on your PC and through the web browser from any device.
Method 1: Epic Games Launcher (Recommended)
Redeem your code in the Epic Games Launcher
- 01Open the Epic Games Launcher on your PC and make sure you're logged into your Epic Games account.
- 02Click your profile icon or username in the top-right corner of the launcher to open the account menu.
- 03Click Redeem Code from the dropdown menu.
- 04Enter your code in the field and click Redeem. You should receive a confirmation message that the code was successfully redeemed. Click Back to Home to return to the launcher.
- 05Your game will now appear in your Library. Click the game and select Install to download it.
Method 2: Web Browser (Works on Any Device)
Redeem your code on the Epic Games Store website
- 01Open any browser and go to store.epicgames.com/redeem — or go to store.epicgames.com and sign in.
- 02Hover over your username in the top-right corner and click Redeem Code from the dropdown.
- 03Enter your code and click Redeem. You'll receive a confirmation that the code was successfully redeemed. The game will now be available in your Epic Games Launcher Library ready to install.
Important Things to Know
- Make sure you're on the right account — once a code is redeemed it cannot be moved to a different account. Always check you're signed into the correct Epic Games account before redeeming.
- Some codes are region locked — Epic Games codes may be restricted to certain countries. If you get an error about your region, the code is not compatible with your account's country setting.
- Some codes are for specific platforms — if your code came with a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo game, it may need to be redeemed on that platform instead of Epic Games. Check the code card or email for instructions.
- Copy and paste your code if you received it digitally — never type it manually to avoid typos
