Unlinking an Epic Games account, which is the same thing as a Fortnite account, isn’t actually done from your video game console. Instead, you’ll need to log into the Epic Games website on a computer or mobile device.

Epic Games accounts are used to power Fortnite’s online matches and sync player progress between different video game consoles. While linking an Epic Games account to a PS4, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox One console or account does provide a lot of benefits, there are some reasons why you may want to unlink it:

You connected the wrong Epic Games account.You want to start Fortnite again from scratch.You’ve created a new Xbox, PSN, or Nintendo Switch account.

The next time you open Fortnite after disconnecting your Epic Games account, you’ll be prompted to sign in with an Epic Games account. You can sign in with any Epic Games account you like, even your old one. Once disconnected, all Epic Games account data still exists in the company’s online servers. You’ll be able to log in at any time and pick up where you left off, if you so choose.
