How to Contact Epic Games: Help for Fortnite, Unreal, and the Launcher

• You can no longer directly email or call Epic Games for support, the only way support is possible is via the help portal.
• The help portal is best if you want to solve a problem yourself, or you can send a specific, detailed request via the contact page.
• You can request refunds for specific Fortnite items in Fortnite, or request refunds for entire games in the Epic Games launcher.
• Unfortunately, Epic has removed their live chat function and their customer service phone number won’t let you talk to a person.

Help Portal

Visit the help portal to solve specific issues. Open the portal and click “games,” “accounts,” or “enterprise” depending on whether you need help with a specific game, your Epic Store account, or Unreal Engine. Then, follow the flow chart of options by clicking on each relevant option. Eventually, Epic will either give you the specific solution, or provide you with a relevant link to get more help. For example, if you have a problem communicating with players in Rocket League, you’d click “games,” then, “Rocket League,” then, “How do I use Push to Talk in Rocket League.” This may or may not lead you to a link to communicate with an employee at Epic.

Fill out the contact page form if the portal isn’t helpful. If you can’t find help for your problem, open the contact page and log in if you can. If you can’t, select “I can’t login.” Then, fill out the fillable forms and answer the questions to submit your request. Epic will email you with an update or solution within 2-3 days. Pro tip: This is the place to be if you’re a parent and you’ve got a question about your child’s behavior online. Select “Create a Parent/Guardian Request” at the bottom of the contact page.

Social Media

Twitter Follow the Epic Games Twitter account at the handle @EpicGames. You can then either write a tweet that can be seen by other people, or you can send them a private message instead. Make sure your tweets and messages are less than 280 characters long or else it won’t fit on the site. Epic Games may not respond over Twitter. It looks like they only occasionally respond in public, so you may have better chances in direct messages. Epic Games seems most active on Twitter, so this is probably your best shot.

Mail

Send a letter to Epic Games if you’re feeling old-fashioned. It’s probably not the most efficient way to contact Epic, but they do mention you can send them mail on their website! Fill out your letter by hand or type and print it. Stamp and label the envelope. Include a stamped return envelope if you want a response, as well. Address the envelope to: Epic Games, Inc.620 Crossroads Blvd.Cary, NC 27518

Who do I contact about licensing Unreal Engine?
