RPCN - Getting Started

We’ll be going over how to create an RPCN account and manage friends on it.

  1. Click on the RPCN button:

    RPCS3's main screen with 'RPCN' highlighted.

    RPCS3's RPCN menu with 'Account' highlighted.
  3. Click Create Account:

    RPCS3's RPCN: Account menu with 'Create Account' highlighted.
  4. Enter a username and password:

  5. You will be prompted for an email address so you can receive a verification token:

  6. Next, you will be asked to confirm your account’s creation. Click Yes.
