Why Migrate Your Fall Guys Account? 🎯

When Mediatonic announced Fall Guys would no longer be available on Steam for new players, existing players faced a crucial decision. Linking your Steam account to Epic Games isn't just about keeping access—it's about unlocking cross-platform progression, exclusive rewards, and future content.

Key Benefits of Account Linking

Step-by-Step Migration Process 🔄

Follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth transition. We recommend doing this on a desktop browser for the best experience.

Step 1: Prepare Your Accounts

Before starting, ensure you have:

  1. An active Steam account with Fall Guys purchase history.
  2. An Epic Games account (create one at epicgames.com if needed).
  3. Both accounts' login credentials handy.

Step 2: Initiate the Link

Launch Fall Guys on Steam. You should see a prompt asking you to link your Epic Games account. If not, navigate to the Account section in settings. This process is similar to how you'd link accounts for redeeming Epic Games codes.

Step 3: Verify and Confirm

You'll be redirected to Epic Games' secure portal. Log in and authorize the connection. Critical: Ensure you're linking the correct Epic account—this process is irreversible for 365 days.

Common Migration Issues & Fixes 🛠️

Many players encounter hurdles during migration. Here are the most frequent problems and proven solutions from our community data.

"Account Already Linked" Error

This usually means your Epic account is already connected to another platform. You'll need to contact Epic Games support to unlink it. Be prepared to verify ownership of both accounts.

Missing Skins or Progress

If items don't appear immediately:

  1. Restart the game completely.
  2. Check your Epic Games account inventory online.
  3. Wait up to 24 hours—server sync can be delayed during peak times.

For persistent issues, our download problem guide has additional troubleshooting steps.

Steam Purchase Not Recognized

Legacy Steam players who purchased the game before free-to-play should automatically receive the Legacy Pack. If missing, ensure you're using the same Steam account that made the purchase. Contact Epic support with your Steam transaction ID.

Exclusive Rewards for Migrated Accounts 🎁

Players who complete the migration receive special bonuses not available to new free players. These include:

Cross-Platform Considerations 🌐

Once linked, your progress syncs across all platforms where Fall Guys is available. This means you can start a round on PC and finish it on PS4. However, platform-specific purchases (like PlayStation Plus packs) may not transfer.

Switch and Xbox Integration

The migration process works identically for Nintendo Switch and Xbox players. Our Switch review covers platform-specific performance aspects after migration.

Community Insights & Pro Tips 💡

We interviewed top Fall Guys players and content creators about their migration experiences. Here's what they wish they knew:

"I almost linked my alt Epic account by mistake. Double-check which Epic account you're using—it's the difference between keeping 500+ hours of progress or starting over." — @FallGuysPro, Twitch streamer

Pro Tips for Smooth Migration

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Can I reverse the migration?

Epic Games allows unlinking after 365 days. Before that period, the connection is permanent. This prevents account selling or duplication exploits.

What happens to my Steam friends list?

Fall Guys will use your Epic Games friends list after migration. You can still play with Steam friends through Epic's invite system or by sharing Epic usernames.

Do I need to download the Epic Games version?

Yes. After migration, you'll need to install Fall Guys through the Epic Games Store. Your Steam version will eventually stop receiving updates. The download size is similar, but if you encounter issues, check our PC controller guide for setup tips.

Can I migrate multiple Steam accounts to one Epic account?

No. Each Epic Games account can only link to one Steam account. This is a security measure to prevent item duplication.

The Future of Fall Guys on Epic Games 🚀

With Epic's resources, Fall Guys has seen accelerated content updates, improved server stability, and ambitious crossovers. Migrated players get front-row seats to new features like custom shows, improved spectator modes, and competitive tournaments with real prizes.

For players who enjoy similar games, the migration process is simpler than many alternatives—far more streamlined than early LOL Beans account systems.

Final Checklist Before Migration ✅

  1. ✅ Document your current progress (screenshots/video).
  2. ✅ Ensure you have both account logins.
  3. ✅ Close Fall Guys on all other devices.
  4. ✅ Choose the correct Epic Games account (primary/main).
  5. ✅ Set aside 15-20 minutes for the process.
  6. ✅ Have your Steam purchase receipt email accessible.

Migration might seem daunting, but thousands of players complete it successfully daily. The benefits of cross-platform play and exclusive rewards far outweigh the temporary inconvenience.
