Xbox Fortnite gamertag not changing

Hello Der King 42!

Thanks for bringing this inquiry to our attention here on the forums. If you're having trouble with your Epic Games Account I recommend you

contact Fortnite Support. What platform are you playing Fortnite on? The closest thing to changing the display name in Fortnite would be to set up a gamertag change that would then be reflected in game.

How to change your Xbox gamertag

fortnite on xbox goes by your gamertag name not your epic games name. So either make a new xbox gamertag or pay the 10$ fee to change your xbox gamertag

Hi Ori.

My name is Renato.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

I don't see any issues with the new Xbox gamertag format and Fortnite. If you want to change it, you can certainly do so, and it will be updated even when you play Fortnite. Please note that only the first change is free. Subsequent changes will incur a fee.

Here the support page about changing gamertag

You can link the Fortnite EPIC account to another gamertag. This person explains exactly how to do it. Its not bad. https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/...change-gamertag-xbox-live?p=947713#post947713

Hi there,

I'm afraid it's not possible to make the account a Child account, but for Fortnite there might be a different option, which will at least let your son keep the Fortnite specific purchases and profile (since these are connected to the Epic account). It will
require a different Xbox Live Account (and Microsoft Account) so achievements will be none, purchases regarding other games won't be present etc etc and a different Gamertag.

See this link for more information and suggestion on the steps:

I myself don't have Fortnite or have tried these steps, so be sure to double check just to be sure.
