Linking Console to Fortnite

Do you play Fortnite on two different accounts and want to transfer items? Since Epic Games removed account merging, you'll only be able to link separate console accounts to your Epic account. Here's what you need to know about merging Fortnite accounts on PC, Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation.

Transferring Your Fortnite Account

You can no longer combine two existing Fortnite (Epic Games) accounts. However, you can link a separate Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch Fortnite account to your Epic Games account. This will transfer and merge account progress and skins.
