Can’t Add Friends on Fortnite Nintendo Switch? Here’s What to Do
Last updated
Ever tried to team up with your pals on Fortnite using your Nintendo Switch and hit a roadblock? You’re not alone. Let’s tackle why adding friends might be a challenge and, more importantly, how to fix it.
If you’re scratching your head wondering why you can’t add friends on Fortnite on your Nintendo Switch, you’ve come to the right place for answers.
Quick Fix to the Friends Dilemma
The main reason you might struggle to add friends is due to account settings or network issues. First, make sure both you and your friend have a Nintendo Account linked to your Epic Games account.
Next, check your privacy settings on both accounts. Sometimes, settings might restrict you from adding friends or being visible to others online. Adjusting these settings often solves the problem.
Connect Through Epic Games
An alternative method involves adding friends through the Epic Games account directly. Log into your Epic Games account, head to the ‘Friends’ section, and use your friend’s Epic Games username to send a request.
This method bypasses the Nintendo system, so even if there are network or account issues on Nintendo’s end, you can still connect and play together on Fortnite.
