You Want to Be a Drooly Drool? How to Forge Your Fortnite Future on Xbox
Ah, Fortnite. The game that turned playgrounds into dancefloors and building materials into deadly weapons (don't worry, nobody got hurt... much). So, you've decided to dive into the fray on your trusty Xbox, ready to floss your way to victory. But hold on there, Maverick (or whatever your epic ninja name will be), you need a Fortnite account first.
Fear not, future dance champion! This guide will be smoother than a freshly applied layer of lube... er, I mean, building materials (seriously, those things go up fast).
Step 1: Embrace the Inner Web Surfer
First things first, you'll need to venture out onto the wild world wide web. Don't worry, it's not as scary as the storm closing in on Tilted Towers. Grab your favorite web browser and head over to [Epic Games](URL epic games fortnite).
Pro Tip: If you're already logged into your Xbox account on your browser, you might be able to create a Fortnite account with just a click or two. Check for that sweet "Sign in with Xbox" option.
Step 2: Sign Up! It's Like Summer Camp, But With More Explosions
Once you're on the Epic Games website, look for the big, beautiful "Sign Up" button. It practically begs to be clicked. Don't be shy, give it a good whack (with your mouse, not your controller... yet).
Here's where the fun begins! You'll need to fill out some info, like your email address, a display name (this is what everyone will see, so choose wisely, unless "XxX_L33T_SN1PER_XxX" is your thing), and a password that's stronger than a well-built fort.
Remember: This password is important, so make it something you'll remember but nobody else can guess. Avoid using your pet's name or your mom's maiden name (those are classic hacker tricks).
Step 3: Conquering the Verification Maze
After you've filled out all the good stuff, Epic Games might send you a verification email. This is just to make sure you're not a sneaky robot trying to steal all the loot. Check your inbox, find the email, and click the verification link. Now you're officially part of the Fortnite fam!
Step 4: Linking Up Your Xbox Account - It's Showtime!
Head back to your Xbox, all shiny and ready for Fortnite domination. Boot up the game and log in with your brand new Epic Games account. Congratulations! You're officially a Fortnite noob (but hey, everyone starts somewhere, even the greatest builders).
Bonus Tip: If you linked your Xbox account during signup, you might be good to go already. Fire up the game and see if your new account is ready to boogie.
