a second fortnite user?

SW2088 · Nov 3, 2018

Hello all

My son plays fortnite on xbox and I have been playing too - but up to now I have been playing fortnite using his user.

Question: can I set up a second user which I can use myself rather than using his?

Thanks for any help.

:)

Fortnite doesn’t start

I can’t play Fortnite since a week. When I start Fortnite after a few seconds it goes back to home page again. I have a regular gold live subscription. Does anyone know what to do?

Xbox Live Gold for Fortnite

Hi GreyStormGaming,

First, you don't need to pay PS PLUS ( the online service ) to play Fortnite on the PlayStation 4. Second, you don't need to pay Nintendo subscription to play Fortnite ( my friend has a Nintendo Switch ). Finally, if you you think that Xbox Live Gold is
not really expensive with all the offers you get, give me a Xbox Live Gold code so I can play Fortnite.

You can you would just have to set up your own account and xbox profile and sign in with it and you would be able to play the game.

Hi SW2088,

Thanks for your post! To play with a personal identity online, you must create and sign into another GamerTag. This will allow you to have your own profile to play online with. For more information on creating and using different GamerTags check out:

Let us know how this goes, thanks again.

We have been attempting to find the ultimate setup for multiple users to play under one roof on fortnite in my home. The best I've been able to come up with was to have a second internet line installed by the same company I have internet service with now.
In order to provide a standalone line of service to a second system to allow my kids to play fortnite together, this was the best setup I was able to produce.

At home with Xbox One

As an Xbox Live Gold member, you can share the benefits of Xbox Live Gold with others while they’re using your Xbox One console in your home. Friends and family can simply create their own account and gamertag on the console, which gives them the ability
to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming.

Friends or family members with their own gamertags coming over to play? No problem. They can log in and play online multiplayer games, even if you sign off"

and yet it will not allow him to play online.
