XBOX/Fortnite account transfer and set up

WillJackson · Sep 17, 2019

Hi Trying to sort out Fortnite for my son.

He currently logs in to XBOX using his mother's email and password.

His Fortnite account is linked to this xbox account.

I need to link his fortnite account to the child account I have set up under family on my account.

1. How do I associate his fortnite account to the child account?

2. Does he need his own xbox/microsoft account to be able to play fortnite on an xbox

3. How do I set this up so the accounts are linked and he can log into xbox without needing his mother's account details?

Thanks,

Bill

Digital purchases cannot be transferred from one account to another. You can change the email address associated with an account though.

Change your Microsoft account email address

You are going to add an email to the account and make sure it works. You can then change that email to the primary email and again make sure everything is working. At that point you can remove what was the primary email.

If the console is set as the home console for his mother then he can continue to play fortnite. If an account is created for him he can play fortnite but would lose access to any DLC purchased under his mothers account.

It is best to have the child playing under their own account. If that means going thru the pain of them starting over at something do it as early as you can.

You can't transfer anything from one account to another.

Hello Microsoft

Since i set the Xbox One up with my main user account, i now want a separate account for my son. I need all his Fortnite skins and all content loaded under my account to transferred to my sons new account, but i need to keep my account also as it is the
one with a card linked to buy purchases etc.

It is the primary account!

Can i set a new account up for my son, transfer all his Fortnite skins, etc to his account, and still use my account for managing purchases etc? I also want to set screen time to the new account, so i can limit his time in front of the Xbox One console?

Is this possible?

Thank you for your reply. I did some digging and couldn’t find a way so I was assuming it couldn’t be done but thought it was wirth a try. By chance, do you know if there is a way to transfer fortnite skins in to a new account if I set up a child
account for him? He doesn’t want to lose everything he bought and used under my account if we set up an account for him.

No unfortunately not. Nothing is transferable between accounts.

How can I login my Fortnite account on Nintendo and transfer it to my Xbox account?
