You've Outgrown the Crew? How to Ditch Fortnite's Subscription Service on Your Nintendo Switch
Ah, Fortnite Crew. It was a fling, a summer romance of V-Bucks and early access skins. But like all flings, things get a little... stale. You're staring longingly at other games, your wallet's giving you the side-eye, and that Crew badge on your lobby screen just feels... clingy.
But fear not, fellow Fortniter! Weaning yourself off that sweet, sweet Crew subscription is easier than avoiding a baller in the final circle. Here's how to cut the cord on your Nintendo Switch, Fortnite edition:
Calling it Quits on the eShop
-
Boot Up Your Switch: This might seem obvious, but hey, we all forget sometimes (especially after a late-night Victory Royale marathon). Grab your trusty Switch, hit that power button, and let's get down to business.
-
Enter the eShop: It's the little shopping bag icon staring you down from the bottom menu. Click on that bad boy and enter the wondrous world of digital goodies.
-
Account Info Ahoy!: See that little silhouette icon in the top right corner? That's your ticket to freedom. Click on it and brace yourself for a treasure trove of account information (including, more importantly, those pesky subscriptions).
-
Subscriptions: The Unsubscribe Jungle: Navigate the treacherous waters of your account info until you find the "Subscriptions" tab. This is where the magic (or lack thereof) happens.
-
Hunt Down the Crew: Among the receipts for that questionable anime visual novel and the ten DLC costumes for your favorite farming simulator, you'll find the Fortnite Crew subscription. Don't be fooled by its fancy name, this beast is about to be slain.
-
Turn Off Automatic Renewal - The Final Blow: With a mighty click (or a satisfying button press, depending on your Switch preference), select "Turn Off Automatic Renewal" for the Fortnite Crew subscription. Breathe a sigh of relief, Fortniter, you're officially free!
Wait, There's More?
Yes, technically, you can cancel your Fortnite Crew subscription from your Epic Games account on a web browser too. But who wants to deal with all that login jazz when you can achieve glorious freedom from the comfort of your couch?
Remember, Fortniters: There's no shame in moving on. You've had your fun, gotten the loot, and maybe even rocked that funky banana skin. Now go forth, explore new gaming horizons, and remember, you can always come back to Fortnite (but maybe hold off on that Crew subscription for a while, eh?)
