Are there any age restrictions for creating an Epic Games account?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, there are age restrictions for creating an Epic Games account. According to Epic Games' policies, users must be at least thirteen years old to create an account independently. For users who are younger than thirteen, parental or guardian consent is required to establish an account. This policy is part of Epic's compliance with child protection laws, such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States, which aims to protect the privacy of younger users online. When creating an account, users will typically be asked to provide their date of birth to ensure compliance with these age requirements. It is important for parents and guardians to be aware of this policy, as it helps maintain a safe online environment for children. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is advisable to refer to the official Epic Games website, where they provide detailed guidelines regarding account creation and age restrictions.
