3. Launch GeForce NOW and link your Epic Games account (if you play Fortnite)
If you play Fortnite, linking your accounts will prevent you from having to sign in each time you launch Fortnite.
For other games on Epic Games Store, automatic sign in is not yet supported and you will need to enter in your Epic Games account info when you launch them on GeForce NOW.
Launch GeForce NOW and go to Settings.
Under Connections, click Connect next to Epic Games.
A new browser tab will open and you will be directed to sign in to your Epic Games account.
After completing any 2-factor authentication step, you will see a prompt to link GFN to Epic Games.
Click “Allow.”
Click “Allow.”
You will see a confirmation screen in the browser tab that you can then close, and also a success message in the GeForce NOW app.
Under Connections, you should now see that your Epic Games account is connected to automatically sign in to Fortnite.
4. Play
Use the search bar or browse to find your games, and click play! You can also add them to your GeForce NOW library to find them faster.
