ABOUT ACCOUNT MERGE

Now, the Fortnite players with multiple accounts have the option to combine their accounts into one with the new Account Merge feature. Unlike Account Linking, merging accounts will be able to transfer the cosmetic items and v-bucks between accounts.

The Primary account can be linked to the console logins of the Secondary account upon merging. This includes console logins for the Xbox Live, Nintendo Online and PSN.

HOW TO MERGE FORTNITE ACCOUNTS
- The first thing that you have to do is head to Epic Game’s Account Merge Page. You have to note that Account Merging can only be done from the Epic Games Fortnite page. There you will be able to view the “Get Started” button to start the account merging and.
- The second step, you are able to log-in to the primary account. You have to assign which account will be the Primary Account through the log in. Remember that the Primary Account will be the merged account and the Secondary One will be disabled.
- After that, you have to ban or disabled accounts that cannot be merged. Fortnite accounts that have been banned cannot be used to merge, regardless if it is as the Primary or Secondary Account.
- In this step, you have to submit the Security Code. Usually, a Security code is going to be sent to the email address of the Primary Account. Please submit the code correctly to proceed to the next step.
- Lastly, you need to repeat Steps 2 & 3 for the Secondary Account. Do the same steps for the Secondary Account. If you do not have an account linked or played on the PSN, it will give an error that the Merge cannot push through. After all details are met, the merge will be successful.
