How to Change Fortnite User: A Step-by-Step Guide

Fortnite is a popular battle royale game that requires a username or alias, known as the Epic account, to play. Sometimes, users may want to change their Fortnite username, especially if they created an account in early days when the game first released or if they just want a new handle. Changing a Fortnite username can be a straightforward process, and we’ll walk you through the steps below.

Why Would I Want to Change My Fortnite User?

Changing your Fortnite user can have various benefits:

• New name for your brand identity: Create a brand new and unique identity, distinct from the one you originally signed up with.
• Remove previous social media tags: If your original Fortnite user handle is linked to another social media handle, changing the handle can sever the link, minimizing unwanted publicity.
• Playtesting: Switching up the handle is a way to create a separate gaming identity, particularly in playtesting or testing purposes without revealing the change to existing or future online friends.

Before We Begin

Before starting, remember to make sure:

  1. To be in the game; start a game or wait till you receive a pop-up to “Change username,” indicating availability.

  2. Don’t rush changing the handle; a maximum of **three (3) free username changes** are granted initially.

  3. Broadband (high-speed) Internet connection to secure the process seamlessly (and a stable platform at home; a lot occurs within, so consider downloading updates).

This step also helps eliminate stressors due to potential mishaps. Make sure not to cancel the process.
