Epic Games

This how-to walks you through configuring Sign in with Epic Games and starting an Epic Games session from your game. Both Epic Games Sign In and Epic Games Connect are supported.

Prerequisites

  • Unity, Unreal, or Godot SDK installed and configured in your project (not required for REST).
  • An Epic Games developer account with access to the Epic Dev Console.

Configuration

Configure your integration in Platform Settings.

Epic Games platform settings in the Web Console

Client ID: retrieve this from the Epic Dev Console. If you don't have a client, create one.

Start Session

Acquire an Epic Identity Token, then use it to start a session. The response includes a refresh token, which lets you refresh the session without repeating the full sign-in flow.

string idToken = "eyJhbGciOiJSUz............";
LootLockerSDKManager.StartEpicSession(idToken, (response) =>
{
    if (!response.success)
    {
        Debug.Log("error starting LootLocker session");


        return;
    }


    Debug.Log("session started successfully");


    // Store these if you want to manually supply it to refresh the session without using the full sign in flow
    string refreshToken = response.refresh_token;
});

Refresh Session

Refresh the session instead of having the player go through the full sign-in flow every time. The request returns a 401 (Unauthorized) if the refresh token has expired, in which case start a new session instead.

LootLockerSDKManager.RefreshEpicSession((response) =>
{
    if (!response.success)
    {
        if (response.statusCode == 401) {
            // Refresh token has expired, use StartEpicGamesSession
        }
        else {
            Debug.Log("error starting LootLocker session");
        }


        return;
    }


    Debug.Log("session started successfully");


    // Store these if you want to manually supply it to refresh the session without using the full sign in flow
    string refreshToken = response.refresh_token;
});
