If you're a gamer, you know that linking your gaming accounts across various systems is the way to go. This can be done with your Epic Games account as well. However, there isn't currently an app supporting Epic Games that is also PS4-compatible.

If you want to link your Epic Games account to your PlayStation Network account, it's still possible — you'll just need to do so on the Epic Games website. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to link the two.

8. When you return to the Accounts tab, you'll see that the Playstation Network field now has a gray button labeled "Disconnect" instead of "Connect." This shows that your Epic Games account is now successfully linked to your PlayStation Network account, meaning you can access it on your PlayStation 4.
