What happens if I change the console account linked to my Epic Games account?

You can change the PlayStation, Xbox, and/or Nintendo accounts that are linked to your Epic Games account once per year, per console. Doing so has different effects on your in-game progress, cosmetics, and purchases, depending on what you play. Read below to decide whether this is right for you:

Fortnite

All Fortnite progress and cosmetics are always stored on your Epic Games account. You will be able to access everything as soon as you link the new console account to Epic Games.

Rocket League

Rocket League progress and cosmetics are linked to the gaming platform or console account where they were redeemed or purchased. If you unlink one gaming platform or console account from Epic Games to link a new one of the same type, you will lose access to your progress and items that were purchased or redeemed on the unlinked platform.

Fall Guys

All Fall Guys progress and cosmetic acquired after going Free to Play is stored on your Epic Games account. You will be able to access it as soon as you link the new gaming platform or console account to Epic Games.
