Since its inception in 2017, Fortnite has evolved from a PC-only game to a multi-platform sensation. As the game gained popularity, players began accessing their accounts across multiple gaming systems, necessitating the ability to log out or switch accounts.
Whether you’re sharing a system with a sibling or just want to secure your account after a gaming session, here’s how to log out of Fortnite on PC, Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
How to Switch Fortnite Accounts?
Fortnite introduced a logout button for console players during Chapter Two, season five. To log out, simply open your settings, navigate to the ‘Account and Privacy’ tab, and select ‘Logout.’ Fortnite will automatically log you out and shut down the game.
The account hub on the Fortnite and Epic Games websites allows players to manage their accounts across all logged-in platforms. To log out, visit epicgames.com, sign in to your account, click on your username, and select ‘Account.’ Navigate to the ‘Connections’ tab and select ‘Accounts.’ Here, you can connect or disconnect from all platforms that Fortnite is available on.
This method is exclusive to PC players who use the Epic Games launcher to play Fortnite. To log out, close the game, and the Epic Games launcher should reappear. Click on your username, located at the bottom left corner of the launcher, and select ‘Sign Out.’ You will be signed out of your Epic Games account, and consequently, Fortnite.
Use one of the aforementioned techniques to log out of your current account, then log in to the one you want to switch to. You must start the game, select “Link an account,” enter the code online, and then sign into your new account in order to link accounts on consoles.
Logging out of your account after each session is a good practice, especially if you share your gaming devices with others. It prevents unauthorized access to your account and unmonitored V-Bucks spending. Regularly changing your password is also a good security measure as it logs you out of all devices you’ve logged into Fortnite on, ensuring your account’s safety.
