How to Link Epic Games and Steam Accounts

Linking your Epic Games and Steam accounts allows you to access certain cross-platform features, sync friends in supported games, and use Epic services when launching titles through Steam.

This guide explains how to link Epic Games and Steam accounts safely and correctly.

Linking accounts can help with:

  • Cross-platform multiplayer
  • Syncing in-game progress for supported titles
  • Connecting Epic friends
  • Accessing Epic Online Services
  • Managing linked accounts centrally

Not all games support full cross-progression, so compatibility depends on the specific title.

This is the most reliable method.

  1. Open a web browser
  2. Go to the official Epic Games website
  3. Sign in to your Epic Games account
  4. Click your profile name
  5. Select Account
  6. Go to the Connections tab
  7. Click Accounts
  8. Select Steam
  9. Sign in with your Steam credentials
  10. Confirm the linking request

Your accounts will now be connected.

Some games automatically prompt you to link accounts.

  1. Launch a supported game on Steam
  2. When prompted, log in to your Epic Games account
  3. Approve the connection request

This links the accounts specifically for that game.

How to Check If Accounts Are Linked

To verify:

  1. Log in to your Epic Games account
  2. Go to Account > Connections > Accounts
  3. Confirm Steam shows as connected

If it appears under linked accounts, the connection is active.

If needed:

  1. Log in to Epic Games
  2. Go to Account > Connections
  3. Select Accounts
  4. Click Disconnect next to Steam
  5. Confirm removal

Keep in mind that unlinking may affect access to certain features.

Important Things to Know

Before linking:

  • Some games require linking for multiplayer
  • Cross-progression is game-dependent

Always ensure you are logged into the correct accounts before linking.

Troubleshooting Linking Issues

  • Clear browser cache

  • Ensure Steam is logged in
  • Try a different browser
  • Check Epic Games server status

If problems continue, contact Epic Games Support.

Is Linking Safe

Yes, linking accounts through official websites is safe. Always:

  • Use official Epic Games pages

This protects your gaming accounts.
