Players in more than 140 countries can now use the Epic Games Wallet payment option during checkout, with more to come in the future. 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. 

This is the next stage of the Epic Games wallet expansion, with customers from all over the world, in places such as Latin America and Africa, now able to load funds into their wallet. Players from Ecuador, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and even Antarctica will have the option of adding funds to the wallet in pre-set denominations in your local EGS currency.

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 higher maximum balance if the account is secured with 2-factor authentication (2FA). Accounts without 2FA activated will be limited. Players can learn how to activate 2FA for their Epic Games account here.
