    You want to play fortnite with your epic games display name instead of xbox gamertag?


    When we play Fortnite or any games in our Xbox console. The gamertag will show is the Xbox gamertag since Gamertag serves as the player’s “identification” when logging in to Xbox Live. As of the moment, I am afraid to inform you that we cannot customize the gamertag if we wanted to use the in-game gamertag or the Xbox gamertag when we play games in our Xbox console.

    I changed my xbox gamertag why is it still showing my old gamertag in fortnite?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your display name on Fortnite.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, your in-game display name may be different depending on the console platform you're playing on.

    Fortnite displays your Epic Games username in most cases, not your Xbox gamertag. Even though you’ve updated your gamertag, if it’s not syncing with Fortnite, the display name issue is likely linked to your Epic Games account rather than Xbox.

    Please verify Epic games account changes by logging into the Epic games account settings and double-check that the username change was successful.

    If your updated Epic Games username is displayed there, it confirms the change is registered on their end.

    And it can take up to a few days for changes to Epic Games usernames to propagate across all servers.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    My gamertag isn’t updating anywhere

    You can change your display name through Epic independent of your gamertag and that should update your name in Fortnite. https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...y-name-a5720285595291?sessionInvalidated=true

    If you want to update it anywhere else on Xbox, you'd have to pay to change it again. The system does usually show a warning when you change your tag. It basically shows you how it will show in certain areas versus how it will show in others.

    Kann ich mein Fortnite anzeigenamen ändern wenn ja möchte ich es Der King 42 nennen

    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.

    Change FortNite Name

    Hey dubstir --

    Using a web browser, go to https://www.epicgames.com and sign into your account. You'll have the option to choose the platform your account is on when logging in. Choose the Xbox icon to sign into your account using your Xbox Gamertag and credentials. Once
    logged in, you should see your Epic Name displayed in the top right-hand corner of the web page, click on your name and go to "Account". Before you can change your Epic Name (Fortnite Display Name) you'll need to ensure you've verified your account via email.

    You will see your "Display Name" in the first field. If you are eligible for a name change, you can do it there. You can only change your Epic Name every 2 weeks, so ensure you really want the name that you've chosen and that it doesn't violate Epic Games or
    Xbox Codes of Conduct of course.

    Does fortnite support the new gamertag system

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Pancake

    Looking similar threads, it seems that fortnite uses your Epic account name.

    Could you double check this?

    Visit your account's ACCOUNT INFO page.
    In the box labeled DISPLAY NAME, enter your desired new display name.
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and click SAVE CHANGES."
