5. Provide necessary details: In the help ticket form, you’ll be prompted to provide specific details about your problem. Be sure to explain that you want to change your Epic Games email but do not have access to both emails associated with your account. Provide as much information as possible to verify your identity and account ownership. This may include your full name, date of birth, original email address, account creation date, and any other relevant details that can help Epic Games support verify your account.
