Dear Community,

I'm here to know more about the account merge between epic and steam. There are a few questions about it, i know you will ignore most of the questions maybe, but right now, the questions can't get out from my head. It would be nice, if someone helps me here, maybe useless questions too..

1. Will my Steam Account transfer all skins, especially LEGIT legacy skins from the survs/killer what I got back then in 2016 and what will not transfered. Because I have a steam account, but I had lost the access a while ago, now I have it back and most of my friends are usually on epic, thats why I want to merge my steam account with my epic account to play on epic games only with my progress from steam

2. After all that, I must unlink my other steam account and take it away from epic games account, but my epic games account will stay on behaviour account, so that I can merge my epic and new steam account again. I already linked them between epic and steam, but I want to unlink the steam acc, so is it possible to merge the other steam account with legacies to my epic games account, which I talked about ?

3. I had bought on steam most of the skins, and on epic back then too a little bit. But what happens, if I unlink my steam account then, because I bought most of the skins there again, but I play on epic with the skins, prestige, everything. I mostly play on epic games to prestige, rank up... In the past, I played with the account, which has legacies, but if you know, I've lost the access back then. will they transfer automatically to my epic games account all of the bought skins, prestige, items... ?

4. What happens with my devotion, because im on epic with devotion 5, on steam too, because I merged them. And on the other steam account, with legacies im devotion 4. Will they added together ? And what happens with prestige, items then ?

So guys, that was all about my questions. I know, it is very much and you are maybe more confused than me. But better than don't ask anything..

Yours sincerely

    First of all, there is an FAQ page on cross Progression:

    https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/305-f-a-q-cross-progression


    1. yes, all cosmetics should be shared except platform specific ones (don’t know if for example the switch exclusive trapper mask counts here as switch hasn’t gotten cross progress yet). But you can play with your friends on epic accounts with your Steam account just fine (game has cross play for all platforms)
    2. If you unlink your Steam account, all progress you made after linking may get lost completely, or stay on your epic account - not sure on that (read faq above) - linking a new Steam account after unlinking will only be possible after some waiting time (also in the link above)
    3. As said, progress and purchases may be lost, I am not entirely sure here what stays and what not. Maybe someone else can clarify (or they described it in the faq? Am too lazy too completely read it now)
    4. Devotion will not be added together but will most likely take the highest number from any linked account. As said, you might lose progress when unlinking your old Steam account. Items etc will be added together, prestige also highest I think.
