Is an Epic Games account free?

I downloaded fortnite and wanted to register, then I should create an Epic account, which I haven't done to date because I don't know if it's subject to a fee. Has anyone had any experience and knows if it's free. Don't want to pay for my account. Lg Kati

It's free

The account is free

Fortnite is and remains a free game with no registration fees.

But if you want to buy certain additional things such as skins, Battle Pass etc. Of course they cost, but that is not a requirement
