How to merge "Fortnite" accounts on PS4, Xbox one and Nintendo switch.

The Epic has finally create a way the console-gaming Fortnite fans can merge their Epic account if they have separate account logins on Play station 4, Xbox one and Nintendo switch and if one has purchased the V-Bucks or items on a platform one don't play regular, one can now bring it into one primary account.

Confused? Here’s why Fortniteneeded this feature. Prior to Sony starting its beta for cross-platform multiplayer last fall, you had to create a separate Epic account to play Fortnite on the PS4—even if you already created an account on another platform. And whatever progress or money you made on one account couldn’t transfer over to the other.

If you switched platforms to play with friends or simply found you preferred one over another, you may have had to leave some money and progress behind. Back in September of last year, Sony started allowing Fortnite to participate in cross-platform play, which solved this account issue for new Fortnite players. The gamers who got stuck before, though, were still stuck

Epic’s account-merging feature combines your purchases (and some game progress) to the account you use regularly, and deletes any other account you made because you had to. You can then use this primary account on any platform, since every version of Fortnite now allows for cross-platform play.

To merge your accounts, simply go to Epic’s Account Merge pageand follow the instructions. I recommend picking which account you want to keep before you start, so you can make sure to log into it as the “Primary Account” during the first step of the merge process. You can only merge accounts tied to game console networks—PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch—that were used at least once before September 28, 2018. You also cannot merge banned or suspended accounts.

Merging accounts will transfer your V-Bucks and cosmetic items from Battle Royale. If you’ve been playing “Save The World,” you will bring over your secondary account’s XP, Heroes, Llamas, Defenders, Schematics, Survivors, Evolution and Perk Materials.

There are a few things that you cannot transfer to a new account, like your Battle Pass and maps made in creative mode. If you have a Battle Pass active or maps you want to keep on one platform, make sure to select it as your Primary Account to keep your work. Your account level and progress in “Save The World” will not transfer, either.
