Fortnite account merging is now available \u2013 here\u2019s how to do it Epic GamesEpic Games, publisher of popular battle royale game Fortnite, previously announced they would be introducing account merging \u2013 and the feature finally became available on Wednesday, February 4. While Fortnite players who played across multiple systems previously needed to have a separate account in order to do so, Epic is now allowing players to merge accounts, allowing them to use the same one across multiple platforms. This means that players will be able to use their V-Bucks on any of their available accounts \u2013 not just the account associated with the V-Bucks. To merge accounts, players must first select a primary account that they wish to continue using, then a secondary account to merge and disable. The secondary account\u2019s console login (PSN, Xbox Live, or Nintendo Online) will then be instantly linked to the selected primary account. Two weeks after that, cosmetic items and V-Bucks will be transferred to the player\u2019s primary account. There are a few qualifications that accounts have to meet in order to be merged, though; console accounts must have played on Xbox Live, Nintendo Online, or PSN before September 28, 2018 to be eligible. Merged accounts also can\u2019t be currently banned, or disabled and players will need to be able to access all email addresses associated with the accounts they want to merge. Accounts aren\u2019t merged immediately, but users who have already gone through the process will get a countdown timer in their Fortnite battle lobby counting down to when V-Bucks and cosmetics will be available. https:\/\/twitter.com\/jayvinshinoz Players who want to get started can do so by clicking here.
