Epic Games Account does not link tomy Xbox account - it comes up with a different name!

you would need to contact epic games, they changed things a few months ago, so an epic accoutn can only be linked to one and only one xbox account, if it is unlinked it can only be linked to that same account again and no other.

Hi Koala! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

The error message it's because your Microsoft account has already been linked to a different Epic account not the epic account linked to a different Microsoft account, you can log in the Epic support using Microsoft login to find the account linked to your Microsoft account

Hello Brojoh12,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I am very sorry for what you are presenting, I understand your annoyance but don't worry, there is a solution. There are two possible reasons why your Xbox account does not appear on the Epic Games website.

The first possibility is that your Xbox account is not linked to an Epic Games account. To link your Xbox account to an Epic Games account, go to the Epic Games website and click "Sign in." Then, select "Xbox" as your platform and follow the on-screen instructions.

The second possibility is that your Xbox account is linked to an "unnamed" Epic Games account. "Unnamed" Epic Games accounts are created automatically when you log into Fortnite on a console without creating an Epic Games account. If you have a "no name" Epic Games account, you can convert it to a full Epic Games account

These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

Sincerely,
Marvina.

I did link them to the correct Epic Games account but since the Microsoft account on the XBOX is different the Vbucks aren't showing. Does that make sense and sound right?

Hi Stefan!

Thanks for reaching out to us! When it comes to linking your Xbox Account (GamerTag) to your Fortnite account (Epic Games account), each GamerTag/profile can only link to one Fortnite account. If you are able to sign into Fortnite on your device with your
son's Xbox account and his Epic account and view his progress then that is normal. However, if you'd like to sign into your Xbox account on Fortnite, it would need to correspond with the Epic games account associated with your GamerTag.

If your own GamerTag (Xbox profile) is not linking up with your Epic Games account, then you would need to

contact Epic Games concerning your Fortnite account directly for assistance in getting those two accounts to link. Just be sure you know the different account log in emails for their site specific to each of you.

Hope this helps out!
