How do i link my fortnite account to my epic games account

Hi there,

there is no option to move items etc from one Xbox Live Account to another, but since it's Fortnite related, there might be an alternate solution.

I think the content for Fortnite is linked to the Fortnite account (Epic account) and that can be linked to a different Xbox Live Account.

For example this link shows how to connect a Epic Account to a console account (via the website):

Keep in mind to not use the Xbox Live Accounts or Epic Accounts when on a console, since this could result in a new Epic Account being created.

I do advise you to contact Epic Support first so they can confirm the steps to take to make this possible before trying something. The earlier mentioned link has a Contact options.

Hi XI Nabeel XI

Try this link to see if it is any help with making the change you are looking for How do
I change the email on my Epic Games account?

If your son doesn't have the epic account setup already then create the account and then link the new gamertag to it and then try linking his fortnite.

Hey there Felipe,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Forums with your question. I would advise that you take a look at the support article from the Fortnite Help page.

How do I connect (link) my console account to my Epic account? Read through it, it'll show you
how exactly to link them.

Also, when you first played on your Xbox account, did you select the option to not create an Epic Account? This could also be causing problems. Take a look at this Support article if this is the case.

I'm trying to connect my console/platform to an Epic Games account.

I hope this helps!

I have recently downloaded Fortnite on my Xbox one and was automatically linked to my live account. I created an account with epic games and tried to link it to my xbox account and can't because of the initial download on my console was currently
linked. Can you tell me how to unlinked this so I can link my epic account?
