What to Do If Epic Games Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing Epic Games, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming Epic Games is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not Epic Games.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent Epic Games from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If Epic Games does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing Epic Games from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to Epic Games. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If Epic Games is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if Epic Games works for others but not for you.

6

Check for scheduled maintenance

Gaming services like Epic Games frequently perform scheduled maintenance, often during off-peak hours (usually Tuesday mornings or late nights). Check Epic Games's official social media accounts or community forums for maintenance announcements before troubleshooting further.
