How to link your Epic Games account to an Xbox Live account to share gaming data, purchases, and more
  • You can link your Epic Games account to your Xbox Live account so that the two gaming accounts are associated with each other.
  • You can't access your Epic Games account directly on your Xbox system, but you can still link your account on the Epic Games website.

Many gamers prefer to link their various gaming accounts across different systems so that other gamers can find them easily, which is especially helpful for online play. You can link your Epic Games account to your Xbox Live account as well.

Xbox doesn't currently have an app for Epic Games, but you can still link the two accounts – you'll just have to do so using the desktop website instead of your Xbox console.

How to link Epic Games account to Xbox

1. On a computer, go to the Epic Games website and sign in to your account.

2. Once you're signed in, hover your cursor over your username in the upper right corner of the screen. When the dropdown menu appears, click "Account."

3. In the list on the left side of the screen, click on "Connections."

4. Under the Connections header, click the "Accounts" tab.

5. Scroll down to the Xbox logo and click the blue "Connect" button located underneath it.

6. Click "Link account." If you are prompted to sign in to your Xbox Live account, do so and follow the steps on the screen to complete the process.

7. When you return to the Accounts tab on the Connections screen, the button beneath the Xbox logo should now be gray instead of blue and display the word "Disconnect." This is how you can confirm that you have successfully linked your Xbox Live account to your Epic Games account.
