Ever wondered how to get your Nintendo Switch hooked up with Epic Games? You’re in the right place!
Linking your Nintendo Switch to Epic Games means all your favorite Fortnite dances can go wherever your Switch does. Let’s dive into how you can make that happen!
The Quick Answer: It’s Easier Than You Think!
First things first, you need an Epic Games account. If you don’t have one, head over to Epic Games’ website and sign up. It’s quick, easy, and free!
Once you have your account, turn on your Switch and head to the Nintendo eShop. Download Fortnite. It’s a free game, so no worries about cost here. After downloading, launch the game and it will prompt you to log in to your Epic Games account. Use your account details to log in. Bam! Your Nintendo Switch is now linked to Epic Games.
Why Link Your Nintendo Switch to Epic Games?
By linking your accounts, you can play Fortnite on the go and your progress saves across platforms. That means any outfit or emote you buy on your PC can come with you to the park or a friend’s house on your Switch. Cool, right?
But wait, there’s more! Sometimes Epic Games offers exclusive items for Nintendo Switch players. Don’t miss out on cool, exclusive gear by keeping your accounts unlinked.
