So you wanna be a Rocket League Romeo, hooked up with your Epic Games Juliet?
Ah, Rocket League. The game that turns grown men into shrieking bundles of joy (and rage), all wrapped up in the pursuit of sweet, sweet car soccer glory. But before you can launch yourself into a glorious montage of aerial goals and epic saves, there's a little housekeeping to do. You gotta get your Rocket League account hitched up with your Epic Games account. Don't worry, it's easier than convincing your teammate that boost isn't just a fancy nitro button.
Why Bother? The Perks of Being Linked
Think of linking your accounts as the ultimate power-up. Here's what you get:
- Play Anywhere, Dominate Everywhere: Been a PlayStation pro but just switched to PC? No worries! Your rank, inventory, and that fancy Rocket Pass you grinded for will follow you like a loyal car-shaped puppy.
- The Joy of Shared Stuff (Almost): Show off those Black Market decals you snagged on Xbox to your Switch buddies. Most items become delightfully shareable across platforms.
- One Login to Rule Them All: No more juggling accounts like a pro gamer juggling flaming chainsaws (not recommended).

Here's the lowdown on getting your accounts linked up faster than you can say "calculated."
- Fire Up Rocket League: This may seem like a no-brainer, but hey, sometimes the simplest things trip us up like a misplaced banana peel.
- The Login Tango: You'll be prompted to sign in with your Epic Games account. If you're a seasoned Epic Games veteran, high fives all around! If you're new to the party, don't fret, creating an account is a breeze.
- Choose Your Champion: You might be presented with a choice of platforms to link. Pick the one where you've been the most unstoppable goal-scoring machine (or the one with the coolest wheels, no judgement). This will be your primary platform, where your progress is king (or queen).
- The Big Confirmation: Double-check everything looks shipshape. Remember, you can only change your primary platform once every 24 hours, so choose wisely, grasshopper.

- Credits and Esports Tokens? Not So Shareable: These bad boys are platform specific, like a jealous teammate hoarding all the boost. You can still access them on the platform you purchased them on, but they won't magically appear everywhere.
- Platform-Specific Swag Stays Put: Got a fancy PS4 exclusive decal? Don't expect to rock it on your fancy new gaming laptop.
And There You Have It!
Now you're ready to hit the field with your unified account, a champion forged in the fires of login menus. Go forth and dominate, you magnificent car-soccer warrior! Just remember, even the best players whiff sometimes, so don't rage quit like a salty teammate after a bad goal. But seriously, don't be that teammate.
