Quick Guide to Changing Your Fortnite Username on Switch
To change your username for Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, you’ll actually need to modify your Nintendo Account’s nickname. This is because Fortnite uses your Nintendo Account’s nickname as your in-game name.
First, you’ll need to visit the Nintendo Account website and sign in. Once logged in, navigate to the “Profile” section, where you’ll find the option to edit your nickname. Type in your new desired name, and voilà! The next time you hop into Fortnite, your new nickname will be your username.
