Can I play Fortnite on two devices?

You can play Fortnite on two devices, although you cannot be signed in on both at the same time, and you can access your Epic Games account on multiple platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, and Mobile, as long as they are linked to the same Epic Games account. To do this, you need to have a single Epic Games account that is linked to all your devices, allowing you to share your purchased content and progress across all platforms, except for V-Bucks, which are specific to each platform.
