Changing my Fortnite display name...

Is there a way to change my Fortnite display name on the Xbox One without paying to change my gamertag?

Fortnite Username

I have recently got the popular game Fortnite and would like to change my username. Epic games account is only for changing a PC name so I was wondering if anyone knows how to change my Fortnite name that appears on Xbox.

Changing Display Name.

I know how to change my display name so that it says my name whenever kinect signs me in, but the connected Account is my father's and I was wondering if there was any way that I could maybe change the related email address or do something else so that changing
my display name does not change the display name for my dad's Microsoft account.

Any game you play on Xbox Live will utilize your Xbox gamertag as the username.

Hi there

On fortnite the name can be set as the epic account names. I would suggest checking your epic account name and seeing about changing it to match there.

I thought that whatever your xbox GT is, that's what you have to have as your Fortnite display name. My GT was "CrazyGamer1213" and my display name was also that. However my epic name is "AKAsyk." I obviously made my GT when I was younger so it's a bit cringe.
So when I changed my GT to "KARMA," I expected the in-game display name to change- it didn't. Also when I click my home button it says my new GT right, but doesn't in fornite...

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your display name on Fortnite.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, your in-game display name may be different depending on the console platform you're playing on.

Fortnite displays your Epic Games username in most cases, not your Xbox gamertag. Even though you’ve updated your gamertag, if it’s not syncing with Fortnite, the display name issue is likely linked to your Epic Games account rather than Xbox.

Please verify Epic games account changes by logging into the Epic games account settings and double-check that the username change was successful.

If your updated Epic Games username is displayed there, it confirms the change is registered on their end.

And it can take up to a few days for changes to Epic Games usernames to propagate across all servers.

Thank you for your cooperation.
