Are you a Fortnite fan, but don’t know your Epic account ID? Follow the guide to know how you can get to see your Epic Games account ID. We shall also see what does it help with and why one should learn it. Let us begin and explore the different methods of finding it.
What is the Epic Games account ID?
Your Epic Games account ID is primarily a unique serial number for your account that is unique to every gamer. Think of it like your account’s social security number, which is a long string of letters and numbers that’s completely unique to you. It’s different from your display name, which is what other players see. This ID is super important for Epic Games to identify your specific account, especially if you ever need to contact their support, deal with technical issues, or transfer game data. You can usually find it in your account settings on the Epic Games website or within some games themselves, the steps to unravel which we shall find later.
Ways of finding the Epic Games account ID
Here are a few methods that can help you find your ID!
Using the official website
- First, head over to the official Epic Games website and log in to your account.
- Once you’re logged in, look for your display name in the top right corner of the page. The display name is your name that appears on the screen while you game. Click on that.
- A small dropdown menu will appear. Select “Account” from that list.
- You’ll be taken to your account settings page. Your Epic Account ID will be right there, typically under a section like “Account Info” or “General.” It’s a long string of letters and numbers that looks like it is jumbled or randomly put. That is what we are looking for!
In Games
This can help you if you are a regular gamer and want to retrieve the account ID while being inside the game. Let us take the example of Fortnite only, which is the most popular one.
- When you are inside the game of Fortnite, then from the lobby, click on your profile picture.
- Go into Settings and then navigate to the Account and Privacy tab right there.
- You should see an option to display your Epic Account ID there. Just hover over it, and it will become visible to you. Now you can see it and even note down somewhere if that’s what you intended to do.
Through the Epic Games Launcher
- Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run box.
- Type AppData and hit the Enter key.
- Navigate through Local > EpicGamesLauncher > Saved > Data to get to the final step.
- You’ll see some files there, and your account ID is often part of the filename itself.
While the third method may seem a bit intricate, the other two are super easy. But we leave it completely up to you and you are free to choose the way that works the best for you. All of them work just fine and you can have your pick.
