Epic Games Balance Recharge

The Epic Games wallet offers an option for players to load money directly into their Epic Games account, allowing for quick and easy payments via the launcher or web store when logged in. Players have the option of adding funds to the wallet in pre-set denominations ($5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 USD equivalents).

The wallet balance can be used to purchase most products and services available in the store today. In addition to purchases, players can also request refunds directly to their wallet, even if the original payment was from a non-wallet source. Wallet balance and details can be viewed at any time via player account management settings. If the wallet has insufficient funds for a transaction, players can use a second payment method to cover the additional amount without needing to top-up their wallet balance.

The Epic Games wallet will have a maximum balance of $500 USD ($600 CAD) if the account is secured with 2-factor authentication (2FA). Accounts without 2FA activated will be limited to $150 USD ($200 CAD). Players can learn how to activate 2FA for their Epic Games account.

There are no set dates for expansion during this phased roll-out as we’ll be monitoring performance and logging player feedback to help improve the system over time. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions below for more information and be sure to check out the wallet Terms and Conditions for additional details.
