D3 Publisher and Sandlot announced it will be easier to take part in Earth Defense Force 6 multiplayer on PCs, as there’s now no Epic Games Store account requirement tied to it. There was a new patch released on October 3, 2024, and it now allows PC owners to play with anyone others, regardless of the storefront, without needing to tie accounts to one another.
When Earth Defense Force 6 launched on PCs via Steam and Epic Games Store in July 2024, an Epic Games Store account was mandatory for online multiplayer. This meant someone on Steam could play with others. However, they’d need to make an Epic account, then connect it to their Steam one. Now just a Steam account will suffice.
D3 Publisher also went over how to disconnect a Steam account from an Epic one, in case people want to do so now that it is no longer necessary for Earth Defense Force 6. Someone just needs to head to Epic, select their account, go to Connections, and choose Apps. While there, pressing the Revoke Access button will do it.
This is one of the second pieces of major news relating to the game in the last few months. The other was the release of the Additional Mission Pack 1: Lost Days DLC. That $14.99 add-on acted as a prequel to the events of the game to explain what our avatar went through ahead of it. It added 15 more missions, including online co-op multiplayer, and 70 weapons.
Earth Defense Force 6 is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC worldwide.
