How to Link Epic Games to Steam: Everything You Need to Know

Quick Tips

• Epic Games offers a native way to link your Steam account, making it easier to find your friends across different platforms.
• You can only link one Steam account to an Epic Games account.
• While you can unlink the Steam account later on, you cannot link another Steam account to your Epic Games account.

Things to Remember

Before you go ahead with linking your Steam and Epic Games accounts to one another, there are a handful of things to keep in mind.

• Number of linked accounts: You can only connect one Steam account to one Epic Games account at a time. Hence, unlinking your Steam account from Epic Games is essential to connect to another Epic account.
• Transfer of game library: If you plan to connect Epic Games to Steam to link your game libraries, we are sorry to tell you that you can’t. You are required to play the respective games on the respective platform.
• Sharing of Account data: When you connect Epic Games to Steam, you can connect with your friends from both platforms. However, Epic can access the data of this newly shared account.
• Data Synchronization: While you can link your friend list, you can’t link any discussions or connected data to the platform, and you will be required to access Steam to get them.

With that out of the way, if you still wish to link the accounts together, we have mentioned the steps you need to follow in the next section.
