So, Your Fortnite Name on Switch is a Bit...Meh? Don't Worry, We've All Been There.
Let's face it, picking a username when you're 12 and hopped up on sugary breakfast cereal isn't always a recipe for legendary status. Maybe your current moniker is "Xx_SniperGod_69_xX" (we get it, you like sniping) or perhaps it's something so utterly embarrassing you can't even whisper it in the dark. Whatever the reason, you're ready for a fresh start, a username that screams victory royale, not "participation trophy."
But Hold Up! You Play on Switch!
Fear not, fellow islander! While you can't change your name directly on the Switch itself, we can whip you up a new identity in a few easy steps. Think of it like entering witness protection, but way cooler (and with less paperwork).
The Great Username Escape: A Guide for Switch Squads
Step 1: Escape to the Epic Games Website
This is where the magic happens. Grab your favorite web-slinging device (or, you know, a regular computer) and head over to the Epic Games website. Logging in might be a bit like visiting your childhood home - embarrassing memories resurface, but hey, that's part of the fun!
Step 2: Find Your Inner Account Shaman
Once you're logged in, navigate to your account settings. Here's where things might get a little tricky. Imagine your account settings as a labyrinth guarded by riddles. Luckily, the riddles are super easy (mostly because they don't exist). Just look for something that says "Account" or "Settings" and dive in.
Step 3: Behold! The Display Name, the Hero You Never Knew You Needed
Now, within this digital labyrinth, seek out a hidden chamber labeled "Display Name." This, my friend, is the key to your username transformation. It might be a bit dusty and cobwebbed from neglect, but with a few clicks, it will become your portal to a new and glorious username.
Step 4: Unleash Your Creative Fury (But Keep it PG)
This is the moment you've been waiting for! Here, you can type in your brand new username. Do you want to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies? Try something like "The_Flossinator" or "CuddleMaster6000." Maybe you crave a bit of mystery? "The_Silent_Stalker" or "One_Pump_Chump" could work. Just remember, Epic Games has some rules (no profanity, folks!), so keep it clean and creative.
**Step 5: Bold and Beautiful: Saving Your New Identity
Once you've chosen your masterpiece, don't just admire it in the mirror (or browser window). Click that glorious "Save Changes" button. And there you have it! You've successfully escaped the clutches of your old username and emerged victorious with a brand new one.
Bonus Tip: Don't Be a Name Hog!
You can only change your Epic Games display name every two weeks. So choose wisely, young padawan. This username will be your legend, your legacy. Make it count!
Now get out there, flaunt your new name, and dominate the island! Remember, with a great username comes great responsibility...the responsibility to win every single match (just kidding...mostly).
