The Epic Games Store now features hassle-free refunds
Like Steam, Epic Games’ self-service refunds will allow PC gamers to refund their purchases if they meet two criteria. First, gamers will need to ask for a refund within 14 days of purchasing their game, and second, they need to have played less than two hours of their game to receive a refund.Â
This refund policy is identical to Steam, and like Valve, Epic Games plans to revoke a gamer’s eligibility for refunds if they are found to be abusing their refund policy.Â
Below is what Epic Games has to say about its new Self Service refunds system.Â
Â
  We’ve recently enabled the ability to self-refund qualifying purchases online by yourself. When you sign into your account on the Epic Games website, click the “Account” dropdown in the top right corner of the webpage, go to the “Transactions” tab and click the game title. If the game is eligible for a self-service refund, please click the “Refund” option to initiate the refund process.
All games are eligible for a refund within 14 days of purchase for any reason. However, you must not have played more than 2 hours.
You will not be eligible for games from which you have been banned or for which you have otherwise violated the terms of service. In addition, you may not be eligible for refunds if Epic determines that you are abusing the refund policy.
