How to Unlink Fortnite Accounts From PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo SwitchUnlinking an Epic Games account, which is the same thing as a Fortnite account, isn't actually done from your video game console. Instead, you'll need to log into the Epic Games website on a computer or mobile device.
Why Unlink Your Epic Games Account?Epic Games accounts are used to power Fortnite's online matches and sync player progress between different video game consoles. While linking an Epic Games account to a PS4, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox One console or account does provide a lot of benefits, there are some reasons why you may want to unlink it:
You can have the same Epic Games account simultaneously connected to your Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. You don’t need to unlink from one to play on another. If what you're trying to accomplish is getting rid of multiple Fortnite accounts, consider merging those Fortnite accounts rather than deleting them. This saves your progress and resources. What Happens After I Unlink My Epic Games Account?The next time you open Fortnite after disconnecting your Epic Games account, you’ll be prompted to sign in with an Epic Games account. You can sign in with any Epic Games account you like, even your old one. Once disconnected, all Epic Games account data still exists in the company’s online servers. You'll be able to log in at any time and pick up where you left off, if you so choose. How to Change Your Fortnite Name FAQ
