In December, Epic Games announced it would delay the release of Fortnite's account merge feature until early 2019.
In case you missed the news, this feature aims to assist anyone who had been forced to create a new account on the Switch after Sony blocked all accounts that had been used on PlayStation. It also allows users to access all of their purchases, cosmetics, V-Bucks and win totals across every device.
The good news is the account merge feature is now live. Below are details:
You’ll choose two accounts, first a Primary Account that you wish to continue using. Then you’ll choose a Secondary Account to merge and disable. Your secondary accounts Console Login (e.g. PSN, Xbox Live, Nintendo Online) will be instantly linked to your Primary Account. Two weeks later your Fortnite Cosmetic Items and V-Bucks will be transferred to your Primary Account.
- One account must have played on Xbox One or Switch and the other on PS4 before September 28th 2018 to be eligible.
- Your account must not currently be banned or disabled.
- In-game items and Vbucks will be held for two weeks before they’re merged to your primary account.
- You’ll need access to all email addresses that are associated with accounts you wish to merge
- If you have duplicate 3rd party login like Facebook on both your Primary and Secondary account, the Secondary login will be unlinked. You can unlink it prior to merging.
- Battle Royale will allow you to merge all cosmetic items. Save the World will allow you to merge Llamas, Defenders, Heroes, Schematics, Survivors, XP, Evolution and Perk Materials.
- Other Items such as Unreal Marketplace items, Creative Islands, and Save The World account level and progress will not be merged over from your secondary account

But what's the bad news?
" Do you at all play Fortnite on a regular basis?" lol-nope!
I was just curious about how they are handling the merger. This sort of cross platform stuff is still fairly new and there aren't really any standards yet.
People still play Fortnite, since Apex Legends is out? Lul
/s
This should have been done a fornite ago.
This game is such an epic disappointment.
@xpromisedx
never heard of Apex legends is it good? I saw its free also.
@The-Chosen-one in my opinion it‘s free to play battle royale done right. Respawn had it launched the same day they revealed it. Instead of a big marketing stunt they put their ressources into a flawless launch, no lag, almost no bugs, 8 different characters, a roadmap with launch and more. I played it for like 5-6 hours and it didnt even feel like it. I was never the battle royale player. Pubg, fortnite or blackout couldnt hook me. But I always loved the titanfall universe. Maybe that is why I like it so much.
Sorry for the long text haha
@xpromisedx
tnx your comment confinced me, will give it a try
@The-Chosen-one no problem! Let me know how you like it
Apex Legends dudes...bye bye Fortnite
@RadioShadow YOU'RE TOO MUCH!!!
@xpromisedx Apex legends isn't fortnite. Plus Apex legends looks like a rip-off of Blackout (BO4). BUT FREE
