Link your Epic Games account with your Steam account has advantages so that you can use features like friend sync, cross play, achievement sync or in-game payment using the Steam wallet. It’s very easy, as you’ll see in this post that we include in our basic tutorials.

Surely you have a desktop full of game launchers, because to those that come from global game distribution platforms (Steam, GOG, Humble Bundle, Epic…) you will need to add your own from other manufacturers, such as Blizzard’s Battle.net , Ubisoft Connect PC (old Uplay) or the EA app (old Origin). Unfortunately, not all of them work with general distribution services and users are forced to install launchers for each of them.

Steam is a great reference in this sector, although there are good alternatives, and everyone else should focus on it, but you already know that the interests of each prevail here, and not the interests of the users. In addition to producing its own and third-party games, Epic Games has for some time carved out a good place in distribution with recent innovations such as the “First Run” for which it will pay video game developers 100% of revenue. they get in the digital store.

How to link your Epic Games account to Steam

Epic is probably the second largest digital store in PC gaming revenue right now, and if you use both, there are benefits to linking your accounts. You can invite someone from your Steam friends list to play Epic Games games (even if they don’t have an Epic Games account), or you can buy Epic Games games using your Steam Wallet balance. You can also progress through games in both if the title supports cross-progression, which is especially handy when there are issues in one of them.

If you are interested, you should know both accounts can be linked within a minute as follows:

• Go to the Epic Games web portal in your browser.

• Sign in with your Epic account (top right corner).
• Click on your username > Account.
• In the left sidebar, open Apps & Accounts. There you will see the ones you can link.

• Click ‘connect’ in the Steam section to link the account.

When you log into Steam with your account and password, you’ll already have your Epic account linked. You can always reverse the process by following the steps above or link your Epic Games account to other services (Xbox, Twitch, Nintendo, PlayStation…).
