Last updated
Ever wondered how you can switch up your Fortnite name on the Nintendo Switch? Well, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what we’re diving into today!
Let’s break down how you can give your Fortnite character a fresh new identity on the Switch.
Quick Steps to Change Your Fortnite Name on Switch
The secret to changing your Fortnite name on Switch lies in your Epic Games account. The name you see in Fortnite is actually your Epic Games account name, not just a Nintendo Switch profile thing.
First, you’ll need to go to the Epic Games website on a computer or mobile device. Log into your account that’s linked to your Switch. Then, head to the ‘Account’ section, click on ‘General’, and there you’ll see your current display name with an option to edit it. Simply put in your new desired name, save the changes, and voila! Your new name should appear the next time you jump into Fortnite on your Switch.

Now that you’ve got a brand new Fortnite name, how about snagging some in-game goodies to go with it? This is where Playbite comes in. It’s an app where playing casual mobile games can win you real rewards, like Fortnite V-Bucks!
