You Don't Like Your Fortnite Name? Don't Worry, We've All Been There (Especially After That Spicy Ramen Incident)
Let's face it, folks. Picking a username is hard. Especially when you're hopped up on sugar and questionable life choices (cough ramen nickname cough). But fear not, fellow Fortniters on the go! Here's how to swap that cringey name for something legendary (or at least not ramen-related) on your trusty Nintendo Switch Lite.
Because You Can't Change Your Switch Name Directly (Thanks a Bunch, Nintendo)
Unlike some other platforms, you can't directly change your username on your Switch Lite. That epic display name you picked is, well, stuck... on your Switch Lite. But fret not! Here's the key: Fortnite uses your Epic Games account name, which you can thankfully change.
Step 1: Grab Your Phone (Because Adulting Sometimes Requires Leaving the Switch)
Yep, you'll need to venture outside the world of Fortnite for a sec. Head over to your phone's browser and get ready to do some account magic.
Step 2: The Epic Games Account Website: Your Gateway to a New You
Head over to the Epic Games account website (https://www.epicgames.com/account). Here's where the real name transformation happens.
Step 3: Login Like a Boss (or at Least Someone Who Remembers Their Password)
Punch in your login info and get ready to say goodbye to your old name.
Step 4: Find the Account Settings Hideout (Because Websites Love Making Things Mysterious)
Look for the account settings section. It might be hidden under a profile icon, buried in a dropdown menu, or disguised as a secret agent (websites can be sneaky). But you're a determined gamer, you'll find it!
Step 5: Behold! The Display Name, Ready for Your Creativity
There it is, in all its glory: the display name section. This is where the magic happens. Type in your new, magnificent username and bask in the pre-victory royale glow.
Important Side Note: Don't Get Too Excited (There's a Two-Week Cooldown)
Just like that victory dance you haven't mastered yet, there's a bit of a wait. You can only change your display name every two weeks. So pick wisely, because you're stuck with it for a little Fortnite while.
Congratulations! You're Now the Owner of a Brand New Username (and Maybe a Cooler Reputation)
With your new name shining bright, you're ready to dominate the Fortnite battlefield (or at least avoid getting called "Ramen Lord" ever again).
Bonus Tip: Spice Up Your Username with Emojis (But Use Them Wisely)
Emojis can add some personality to your name, but don't go overboard. A single well-placed emoji can be a power move, but a name overloaded with them might just scream "newbie."
