You just received an Epic Games key, but have no idea how to redeem it? If so, you are in the right place, because I’ve prepared a little tutorial for you!


Epic Games, Inc. is a software developer and video game publisher best known for their widely acclaimed titles like Fortnite and the creation of the Unreal engine. In December 2018, the company launched the Epic Game store. Similarly to Valve’s Steam, you can obtain keys to claim video game titles available under their belt like Control or Borderlands 2 by visiting the Epic Games Store site or using their launcher app.

How to redeem the key through the Epic Games Store site:

Firstly, to be able to redeem your product you’ll have to go to www.epicgames.com and sign into your Epic Games account or create a new account if this is the first time you activate a key on their platforms.

After you’ve logged in, hover your mouse over your username where you can observe the option “Redeem code” in the menu presented.

Click it and you should be presented with this pagewhere you can enter your product key and confirm your action by pressing “REDEEM”.

Once you are done, you can go on your Epic Games Store launcher to make sure you have received the product and get to the more lengthy part of the process which is waiting for your game to download. Though, speaking of that…
