Epic Games Launcher Activation Instructions - How To Play Your Newly Purchased Game

If you purchased your game directly from the Epic Games Store then you're already good to go - it will be activated immediately and the download should begin. You don't need to enter any CD keys (activation codes) as Epic Games automatically assigns one for you.

If you purchased outside of the Epic Games Store, you'll typically be given a CD key (activation code) from the retailer. Once you have this key, copy it and visit this page. Then input the code into the box and click 'Redeem'. Please then follow the instructions provided by Epic Games and the product will be activated on your account - you'll then be able to download and play.

If you've been given an invalid product code, or think you've been scammed - please contact the retailer or contact Epic Games immediately providing proof of purchase - they can then help you diagnose the issue. If you're certain you've been scammed by one of our approved retailers, let us know, and we'll investigate for you.
