EPIC GAMES - Content Guidelines

Epic’s games and services let you create and share content with a wide and diverse audience. We want the Epic ecosystem to be welcoming for everyone, so certain content can’t be shared or transmitted through our services.

Discriminatory Content

Content should not demean, dehumanize, marginalize, use hateful language against, or perpetuate negative stereotypes about other users or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, or age. Content that promotes or encourages intolerance or discrimination will not be allowed.

Graphic/Explicit Content

We do not allow content that includes pornography or explicit child nudity. We do not allow content that depicts real-world torture, death, or mutilation, except in historical educational contexts.

Illegal Activities

Do not depict or promote illegal activities such as:

Do not promote illegal activities (even if fictional):

Do not encourage or endorse real-world illegal activities or organizations such as:

Do not facilitate the sale of illegal or restricted goods.

Scams and Deceptive Practices

Do not create content to scam or deceive users out of their account information or money. You can find a full set of all the things you can do to better protect yourself and what we currently do to keep you safe in our FAQ.

Misuse of Epic Systems

Epic maintains many systems to keep our users safe and their data secure. Do not attempt to bypass these protections to gain unauthorized access to any Epic systems or data. Do not attempt to gain sensitive information from users. Do not attempt to create or distribute malicious software via Epic systems or platforms.

Infringing or Unauthorized Content

The content you create, publish, or use cannot infringe or violate someone else's rights, including their intellectual property rights. You must own or have obtained the necessary rights to share and publish the content, and any such license must be broad enough to grant Epic a license to display the content.

Mature Content in Marketplaces

Mature content is allowed in Epic Marketplaces (such as Epic Games Store, Fab), but is restricted from general audience view. Mature content is content that targets 18+ and is therefore not suitable for all audiences. Mature content allowed in Epic Marketplaces includes: non-pornographic sexually explicit content, non-pornographic artistic adult nudity, graphic violence, gore, hard profanity, drugs, gambling, and alcohol. Some examples of content that is never allowed include: pornography, explicit child nudity, and (except in historical educational content) real-world torture, death, or mutilation.
