You Want to Ride the Battle Bus on Switch? How to snag a Fortnite Account Faster Than a Supply Drop!
So, you've strapped on your jetpack and crash-landed into the glorious world of Fortnite, but there's a slight hitch. You wanna play on the go, with the funky joy-con grips and that sweet Switch screen. But hold on there, Maverick (or Maya), you gotta have an account to join the party!
Fear not, fellow loopers! This guide will have you blasting noobs with a spork faster than you can say "Victory Royale."
Step 1: Downloading Fortnite (The Easy Part)
This ain't rocket science, folks. Just turn on your Nintendo Switch, mosey on over to the Nintendo eShop (that fancy orange shopping bag icon), and find Fortnite. It's free, so no need to break the piggy bank for that fancy llama skin (although, those skins are pretty darn tempting...). Just hit download and wait patiently while it preps for battle.
Pro Tip: Flick that joy-con controller while you wait and pretend it's your dance emote warm-up. Bonus points for dramatic poses.
Step 2: Creating an Epic Games Account (The Not-So-Scary Part)
Here's where things get a tad bit more complex, but don't worry, it's easier than outrunning the storm. When you launch Fortnite for the first time, you'll be prompted to sign in with an Epic Games account. If you're a seasoned gamer, you might already have one from your PC or mobile Fortnite adventures. High five! But if you're a newbie, you'll need to create a new account.
Don't stress, it's free and only takes a few minutes. Just whip out your phone or another device and head over to the Epic Games website. From there, you'll be creating your epic username (avoid anything too embarrassing, trust me), a strong password (something your pet goldfish can't guess), and filling in some other bits and bobs.
Remember: This username is what everyone will see, so choose wisely! Maybe avoid things like "Princess_Sparkles98" if you're going for a more intimidating vibe.
Step 3: Linking Accounts and Gearing Up (The Victory Lap)
Once you've got your shiny new Epic Games account, boot up Fortnite again on your Switch. This time, you can sign in with your new account and BAM! You're officially a Fortnite recruit.
Here's the super cool part: An Epic Games account lets you play Fortnite on any device with the game available, so your progress and loot follow you everywhere. That means you can switch between your Switch, PC, or phone seamlessly, without losing your precious building skills or that awesome dance you unlocked.
Now that you're all set up, it's time to jump into the fray! Drop into a match, explore the map, build some epic forts (or hilarious mistakes, we've all been there), and don't forget to floss on those unfortunate souls you eliminate (it's a time-honored Fortnite tradition).
With a little practice, you'll be cranking out 90s like a pro and nabbing those Victory Royales in no time. Just remember, building is your best friend, patience is key, and never underestimate the power of a well-placed banana peel.
Now get out there and show the world what you're made of, champion!
