Why do when I log into my Microsoft account it says my name but then I log in on epic game....

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

Good evening

Probably because on her sister's Epic Games account she linked her Microsoft account, and only Epic Games support can see that.

Unfortunately, the Microsoft account only has linked social network accounts, game accounts such as ubsoft, epic games, psn, are done in reverse, that is, the platform account is linked to the microsoft account, and microsoft does not have access accounts owned by other companies.

In your case, only the Company that owns the account (epc, ubsoft, sony, etc...) can help in this process since microsoft does not have access to either the process or the information.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Tytytuxedo153, on your console you log in with your Microsoft account and play Fortnite normally, but when you log in on the PC you have to log in with the email that opened an account at Epic Games.

If you used the same Microsoft email on Epic, you won't have any problems, but if you used a different email to create your Epic account, you'll need to know what that email is.

this is because fortnite is an epic game and therefore uses your epic account linked to the microsoft account, you need to log into epic and change the name there which is free to do.

I may be in the same situation. I am the Dad, and I have an Epic Account. My son's account is under my account. When I log into Epic, it logs into my account. My son does not have a direct account account to log into. So how how do I redeem the gift card under his account, not mine?

I'm currently in contact with an Epic Games employee, but I don't believe they quite understood the question properly. If I'm right, they think I accidentally deleted my Epic Games account; I did this on purpose because I wanted to log back into my other
account that had all of my stuff. When I deleted the account I meant to, it wasn't an accident, but now Epic Games says that there is still an account that is linked to my Xbox Live, but when I try to log in via Xbox Live it prompts me with the message that
essentially says the account is inactive.
