Preliminary information
Before taking action, I think it's useful to give you a quick overview of the possibilities offered by the Epic account link to PS4 and what are the conditions for it to be possible.
To begin with, the Epic Games account must necessarily be linked to that of the PlayStation Network. The latter is the same one you use to shop on the PlayStation Store and play online with your friends. If you do not have a profile of this type, you will find all the instructions to create one in my tutorial dedicated to the topic.
That said, there are several reasons why linking your Epic account to your PSN account is beneficial. As mentioned at the beginning, you should know that by connecting the two profiles in question it is possible to synchronize the game progress for various titles such as Fortnite and Rocket League.
This means that your game profile with all unlocked items can be automatically "shared" between the various platforms on which you play the title for which the feature is available. This way, you will also be able to find the same ones on the PS4 version of your Epic Games games friends that you added on other platforms through your Epic account.
The same link also allows you to access all content purchased through PS4 microtransactions (i.e. in-game purchases paid for in real currency and other paid content) on other gaming platforms.
A clarification before continuing: an Epic account can only be linked to a specific PSN account (even if you decide to unlink the two accounts later, the Epic account can only be associated again with the PSN account you linked it to the first time and not to a different one). Therefore, if you have more than one PSN account, consider carefully which one to link your Epic profile to. Is everything clear so far? Well then let's proceed!
