Whether you’re looking to switch platforms or want to disconnect for another reason, here’s a detailed guide on how to unlink your Fortnite account from your PS4.
1. Verify Your Email Address
Before you start the process of disconnecting your Fortnite account from your PS4, make sure that your email address associated with the account is verified. This step is crucial as Epic Games uses your email to communicate important account information and updates.
2. Visit Your Connected Accounts Page
Next, log in to your Epic Games account and navigate to the Connected Accounts page. This is where you can manage all the platforms linked to your Fortnite account, including your PS4.
3. Click on the Accounts Tab
Once you’re on the Connected Accounts page, locate the Accounts tab. This tab will display a list of all the platforms connected to your Fortnite account, such as PS4, Xbox, PC, and more.
4. Click the Remove Button
Under the platform you want to disconnect, in this case, PS4, look for the Remove button. Clicking on this button will initiate the process of unlinking your Fortnite account from your PS4.
5. Confirm the Unlinking Process
After clicking the Remove button, you’ll likely be prompted to confirm the unlinking process. This is to ensure that you indeed want to disconnect your Fortnite account from your PS4. Confirm your decision to proceed.
6. Wait for Confirmation
Once you’ve confirmed the unlinking process, it may take some time for the system to process your request. Be patient and wait for the confirmation message that your Fortnite account has been successfully unlinked from your PS4.
7. Log Out and Log Back In
After receiving the confirmation, log out of your Fortnite account and then log back in to ensure that the changes have taken effect. This step helps to verify that your Fortnite account is no longer linked to your PS4.
8. Verify the Unlinking
Once you’re back in your Fortnite account, navigate to the Connected Accounts page again to verify that your PS4 has been successfully unlinked. It should no longer appear in the list of connected platforms.
9. Double-Check Account Settings
While you’re in your account settings, take a moment to double-check all your account details and settings. Ensure that everything looks as it should and that there are no unexpected changes or issues after unlinking your PS4.
10. Reconnect if Necessary
If in the future you decide that you want to reconnect your Fortnite account to your PS4, you can follow a similar process but choose to link the platform instead of disconnecting it. Keep this option in mind if you ever change your mind.
