Quick Steps to Unlink Your Account
First things first, head over to the Epic Games website on your computer or smartphone. You’ll need to log in to your Epic Games account—the one you used to play Fortnite on your Nintendo Switch.
Once you’re logged in, navigate to the ‘Connections’ section under ‘Account’ settings. Here, you’ll find a list of platforms connected to your Epic Games account, including Nintendo Switch. Simply click on the ‘Disconnect’ button next to Nintendo Switch, and voila, your accounts are now unlinked!
Why Unlink Fortnite from Your Switch?
Maybe you’re switching consoles, or perhaps you want to start fresh with a new Fortnite account. Whatever your reason, unlinking frees up your account, allowing you to connect it to a different device if you choose to.
Unlinking your Fortnite account from your Nintendo Switch doesn’t mean you’ll lose your progress or purchases as long as you don’t delete your Epic Games account. You can always link it back to your Switch or another console in the future.
