You and Your Squad Got Split Up? How to Switch Fortnite Accounts on PS4 Like a Pro
So, you and your little cousin were dominating the latest Fortnite season, racking up Victory Royales like nobody's business. But then... disaster strikes! Your cousin, fueled by a questionable amount of candy, starts building a labyrinthine masterpiece instead of helping you fight. It's time for a tactical retreat, but how do you switch accounts on your PS4 without causing a family Fortnite feud? Fear not, fellow loopers, this guide will have you switching accounts faster than you can say "boogie down."
But First, Why Even Bother Switching Accounts?
Maybe you share your PS4 with your siblings or friends. Maybe you're a gaming GURU with multiple Fortnite accounts (we see you, master of skins). Whatever the reason, switching accounts is a valuable skill to have. It's like having a secret weapon in your Fortnite arsenal... except way less stabby.
The Glorious Two-Step: Signing Out
There are two main ways to switch accounts on your PS4. Buckle up, because this is about to get technical (well, kind of):
-
The Sign-Out Shuffle: This is the classic method, perfect for those who enjoy a little pre-Fortnite dance routine. Here's how it goes:
- Step 1: The Funky Foxtrot: Close Fortnite completely (don't worry, your progress is safe).
- Step 2: The Cha-Cha Check: Head back to the PS4 main menu and bust a move over to your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Step 3: The Mambo More Like Maybe: Select "Log Out" from the menu. Poof! You're magically signed out. Now you can sign in with your other account and dominate the competition (or at least avoid building wars with your sugar-crazed cousin).
-
The Epic Games Website Tango: This method involves a little more than just fancy footwork. But hey, it's good to have options, right? Here's the breakdown:
- Step 1: The Macarena on Monday: Grab your phone, laptop, or any internet-connected device and head over to the Epic Games website.
- Step 2: The Tuesday Two-Step: Log in to your Epic Games account. Yes, you'll need one of those fancy things.
- Step 3: The Wednesday Waltz: Navigate to the "Account" section (we won't judge if you get a little lost, website menus can be labyrinths).
- Step 4: The Thursday Throwdown: Find the glorious "Connected Accounts" section. This is where the magic happens.
- Step 5: The Funky Friday Fling: Click on "Unlink" next to your PlayStation Network account. Bada-bing, bada-boom! Your accounts are now disconnected. Head back to your PS4 and sign in with your other Fortnite account.
Bonus Round: Tips for the Truly Terrific Account Switcher
- Remember your login details! There's nothing worse than getting ready to drop into Tilted Towers and realizing you forgot your password.
- Consider creating a separate PS4 user profile for each account. This can save you time switching accounts in the future (and maybe prevent any accidental cousin-induced building wars).
- Most importantly, have fun! Fortnite is a game, and games are meant to be enjoyed. So grab your friends (or frenemies), switch accounts if you need to, and get ready for an epic adventure.
Now you're a certified account-switching extraordinaire! Go forth and conquer the Fortnite world, one Victory Royale at a time! Just remember to share the loot with your teammates (unless it's that awesome jetpack, then all bets are off).
