How to redeem codes in Epic Games using the Launcher or the website

Epic Games is the company behind the world-popular “Fortnite,” but it also has its own store with hundreds of games for sale.

Games purchased from the Epic Games store automatically appear in your library for download. But if you buy a copy of a game from a third-party vendor, you’ll need to redeem the product key that came with it on the Epic Games Store to play it. This shows that you actually bought the game.

The product key, or code, is usually sent to your email if you buy a digital copy online, while codes for physical purchases are usually found on the back of the box or in the manual.

You can only redeem a product code once, so first make sure you are logged into the correct Epic Games account. Otherwise, the game will be linked to the wrong account forever.

You can redeem your code on the Epic Games Launcher or on the company’s website.
