Epic Games keys, DLC and accounts in one place
Epic Games keys are codes you redeem on your own Epic Games account, and the title stays in your library for good. This category collects PC games sold for the Epic Games Store, add-on content for titles you already own, and accounts that come with a game ready to launch.
It is a good fit if you play on PC and keep part of your library outside other launchers, or if you want a specific title that you prefer to have on your Epic account. Three formats show up in the listing above:
- Game keys: one code, redeemed once, and the game is linked to your account.
- DLC and add-ons: extra chapters, season passes and packs that run on top of a base game.
- Accounts with a game: sign-in details for an account that already has the title on it.
Choosing between a key, DLC and an account
The right pick depends on what is already sitting in your Epic library and how much you want tied to your own profile.
- Go for a key when you want the game on your own account, under your own login and friends list.
- Go for DLC when the base game is already in your library and you only need the extra content.
- Go for an account when you want to jump straight into a specific title without adding it to your main profile.
- Check the edition in the product name, because standard and deluxe versions include different content at different prices.
How to redeem an Epic Games key
Redemption takes about a minute and works either from the launcher or from your browser. Both routes put the game in the same library.
- Install the Epic Games Launcher on your PC and sign in, or open the Epic Games Store website and log in there.
- Click your account name and select Redeem Code.
- Paste the key exactly as you received it, with no extra spaces, and confirm.
- Open your library and start the download.
- If you bought an account, sign in with the details you got and the game is already listed there.
What to check before you buy
Most activation problems come down to picking the wrong version of a product, and every point below is visible on the product page before you pay.
- Platform: an Epic key activates only in the Epic Games Store, so it will not go through on Steam or any other launcher.
- DLC: the base game has to be on the same Epic account first, otherwise the add-on has nothing to attach to.
- Edition and included content, especially with season passes that overlap with bundles.
- System requirements for PC, so the game runs the way you expect after the download.
- For accounts: the sign-in steps that come with the order, which tell you exactly what to do at first login.
Keeping your Epic Games account safe
Accounts that come with a game are global, so there is no country restriction to match here. What matters is making the access clearly yours right after the purchase.
- Change the password at your first sign in.
- Turn on two-factor authentication in the Password and Security section of your Epic account.
- Use an authenticator app rather than email codes if you want the stronger option.
- Never enter your Epic login on outside sites that promise free items, since real offers only appear inside the store itself.
Frequently asked questions
Do Epic Games keys work on Steam?
No. An Epic key is redeemed in the Epic Games Launcher or on the Epic Games Store website, and the game then lives in your Epic library. If you want the same title on Steam, pick a Steam key instead, because the two formats are not interchangeable.
Are Epic Games keys cheaper than buying the game in the store?
Yes, prices here are lower than retail. What you get is the same full version of the game with the same updates and online features, redeemed on your own account. You can compare the current price of each title directly in the listing on this page.
How fast do I get my key after payment?
Delivery is instant. Your key is ready about 15 seconds after the payment goes through, so a game bought late in the evening can be redeemed and downloading a few minutes later. Nothing needs to be requested or approved by hand.
Are Epic Games keys region locked?
That depends on the product. Some keys activate without country limits, others cover a set list of countries, and the restriction is always marked on the product page. Compare it with the country set on your Epic account before you pay and activation goes through without trouble.
Can I buy DLC without owning the base game?
You can buy it, but you will not be able to play it until the base game is on the same Epic account. Redeem the base title first, then the add-on. A base game you claimed for free during an Epic giveaway counts as owned, so DLC works on top of it.
Can I give an Epic Games key to a friend?
Yes, as long as you have not redeemed it. A key works once and then locks the game to the account that used it, so pass it on before redeeming. After redemption the title cannot be moved to a different Epic account.
