    Sharing Fortnite with family profiles


    Hi,

    Can I have some help please? I have set up my son's Xbox under my email details etc and downloaded Fortnite for him. However, I have set him up his own profile under the family settings but Epic Games is saying that it is a different account and therefore
    cannot be linked.

    Can anyone help please? I want him to be able to play it under his profile so I can set screen time limits etc.

    Thank you

    :)

    Hi there

    I might be wrong but i do believe you can change the primary account attached to the epic account.

    I am not sure if progress and cosmetics go along but as epic uses a service where you can have a separate account.

    You may find this article useful

    As i don't want to give out the wrong info.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    you can still restrict the account for your son without swapping accounts.

    but yes Epic is correct you cannot transfer game data between accounts he’ll have to start all over again, there is nothing we can do sorry this is why is important you check account details and forward plan.

    Your son would be able to play just from the start.

    i hope this helps :)

    Wrong Microsoft Account

    Buying Fortnite skin bundles don't transfer over by family share sadly. Many have made the mistake sorry for notifying you about this

    Can’t play Fortnite on shared Xbox one?

    She was the first to log into fortnite on the xbox. When i tried to log my epic account on it from my profile, it just brings up her fortnite account even if im on my profile. We share one xbox with 2 different microsoft accounts and we share the gold
    for multiplaying. The only way to log her out is to unlink it from the epic games website. I can play everything else independently, but so far have been unsuccessful on having two fortnite accounts on one xbox, even on two different accounts. I know how the
    sharing works, This is Fortnite specific on ONE console.

    What exactly was Family Sharing

    "Family Sharing as it is" is unfortunately none existent, Family Sharing is a different service to what use to be the Family Gold plan and both are none existent at this stage, i do like that the 1 Gold plan covers an XB1 in its entirety for every profile
    on that console,

    me personally i would prefer the Family Sharing plan over the old Family Gold plan if it ever come down to choosing one or the other.

    Family Sharing was to share digital games among 10 people,
