Console Fortnite Player? How To Link Your Epic Games Account to Xbox & PlayStation \u2013 Guide If you play Fortnite Battle Royale on Xbox or PlayStation, you should absolutely link your Xbox Live or PSN account to an Epic Games account \u2013 but it can be trickier than you think. The extremely popular battle royale game Fortnite owes much of its popularity to its availability on consoles \u2013 which sets it apart from the majority PC exclusive games in the genre. However, playing on console does have a slight caveat, as while you can if you wish play without linking an Epic Games account, it is very much recommended that you do. Essentially, with all the new \u2018seasons\u2019, skins, gliders, emotes and more that you can rank up and unlock (or simply purchase with cold hard cash i.e. V-Bucks), linking an Epic Games account to your console service is imperative. But, many players on console intitially and still do, ignore the in-game reminders to link your accounts up, thinking it an unnecessary hassle. However, if the Scottish boy who lost \u00a3400 worth of Fortnite gear taught us anything \u2013 it is that you link your account.
