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
