If you’re looking to detach your Epic Account from your Xbox console for any reason, you’re in the right place. Follow these steps to successfully unlink your accounts:
Verify Your Email
The first step in the process is to ensure that your email address associated with your Epic Account is verified. This helps in maintaining the security of your account during the unlinking process.
Access Your Connected Accounts Page
Once your email is verified, head over to the Connected Accounts section within your Epic Games account settings. This is where you manage the external accounts linked to your Epic profile.
Select the Xbox Account
Within the Connected Accounts page, locate the Xbox account that you wish to unlink from your Epic Account. You should see an option that says “REMOVE” next to the Xbox account.
Click on Remove
Click on the “REMOVE” button next to the Xbox account. This action will prompt a confirmation dialog or pop-up to double-check if you indeed want to unlink the account.
Confirm the Unlinking
Upon confirmation, proceed with the unlinking process. Take note that once you unlink the accounts, certain data or progress tied to both accounts may be affected, so ensure this is the step you want to take.
Review the Confirmation
After confirming the unlinking process, review the confirmation message displayed on the screen. This message will inform you that the Xbox account has been successfully unlinked from your Epic Account.
Log Out and Log Back In
For the changes to take effect, it is recommended to log out of your Epic Account and then log back in. This step ensures that the unlinking process is complete and reflects accurately in your account settings.
Check Account Status
After logging back in, navigate to your Connected Accounts page once more to verify that the Xbox account has been successfully unlinked. It should no longer appear among the linked accounts.
Update Your Settings
With the Xbox account unlinked, you may want to review and update your account settings as needed. This includes adjusting privacy settings, security measures, and any other preferences you have.
Contact Support if Necessary
If you encounter any issues during the unlinking process or notice any unexpected changes in your account, don’t hesitate to reach out to Epic Games support for assistance and clarification.
Final Checks
Before concluding, do a final check to ensure that the unlinking process has been finalized successfully. Your Epic Account and Xbox account should now be completely separated.
Enjoy Your Unlinked Account
With your Epic Account successfully unlinked from your Xbox console, you can now manage your profiles and connections independently. Feel free to customize your gaming experience as desired without the link between the accounts.
