“If you have previously used “Sign In with Apple”, please update your Epic Games account email address and password immediately so that you can still login after September 11, 2020,” Epic warns in a notice.
So what do the players have to do?
“Login to the Epic Games General Settings page with your Apple ID and update your email address to reflect your current email address.
“If you were unable to update your email address prior to Sign In with Apple support ending and are no longer seeing Sign In with Apple as a login option, we still may be able to recover your account manually.

Epic Games account update required for continued access). The verification code you received should look like this: ABC-123-DEF
