    Why is it that when I am trying to link my xbox account with my epic games account, it is...


    I am trying to link my xbox account with my epic account to access my Nintendo rocket league account with my xbox, and to connect it to my fortnite on my xbox. For both rocket league and fortnite I skipped signing with epic and just continued with my xbox account, but now that I finally have an epic account it's not letting me link them together.

    Everywhere I go it is saying to see if you have a nameless account attached by signing in with xbox on epics website, and if it goes to a create an account screen then you do. I did exactly that and it takes me to that screen, so I definitely do. But when I follow the instructions to connect the account to an already-made epic account, the error shows up and tells me it's already connected to another epic account. Then it tells me to log in with another xbox account or switch to another epic games account.

    I don't have another epic games account! My xbox account has never been linked with another epic account, as far as I know, and I have no idea how to check, if there even is a way. Could I have been hacked? Is this a glitch? Is this an error on my part, xbox, or epic? I've tried everything I can and I don't want to lose my Nintendo rocket league progress and my xbox fortnite progress, because my Nintendo-linked epic account won't connect to my xbox account. Epic's website is no help.

    :)

    Why is it that when I am trying to link my xbox account with my epic games account, it is saying that my account has already been linked with an epic games account when it hasnt?

    Hello, CheatRun. I’m, Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide some guidance with your inquiry today.

    I’m sorry to hear you already have an Epic account linked to your Microsoft account, despite not remembering linking accounts or having more Epic games accounts.

    Not only that, but it is important to point out that it is not possible to unlink an Epic account from your Microsoft account, the process always needs to be done in the Epic linked accounts management site.

    However, as you’re not able to do this, you may want to contact Epic Games support to review the options you may have regarding this matter.

    Furthermore, please refrain from sharing personal information, including email addresses, gamertags, etc.
    As community users, we are not able to enter or check your account information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet.

    I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I’ll remain attentive in case you have any other one.

    Thanks for your time,

    Arturo.

    Fortnite with two Xbox consoles and one Xbox Gold Account

    Thanks so much- I guess my confusion is with Epic. How does Epic know which console I am trying to link to which account? When I sign into my Microsoft Account, even though there are two separate child accounts, there is no way to designate each console-
    so how does Epic know which console I am “linking”?

    This is annoying me so much

    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.

    When i try to link my xbox with my epic account, it says I am linked to another epic account. Please help

    Hi Amanda, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    We can only link one Microsoft Account to one Epic Account.

    We can't check this on the Xbox platform, it is done on the Epic webpage.

    Please, enter Epic website: epicgames.com/account/connected

    Go to Your Name > Account > Connections > Accounts

    If you still can't link your Microsoft account, you will need to open a support ticket with Epic support.

    I hope this helps.

    Moving V-Bucks and Challenge Packs to another 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):

    https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/epic-accounts/?s=epic-accounts&f=how-do-i-link-my-console-account-to-my-epic-games-account-using-the-web&p=all


    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.
