It was supposed to happen this month
Epic Games had planned to letFortniteplayersmerge their accounts this month, but the system needs more work than originally anticipated. Citing “ongoing technical concerns,” the developer has come up with a new release window for account merging: the ever-familiar “early next year.”
Is the merge system even that big of a deal? Well, depending on which platforms you playFortniteon, you might’ve been impacted by Sony’s poor decision to (until recently) restrict cross-play. Many people were forced to create separate accounts if, say, they wanted to haveFortniteon PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The situation felt equal parts unfortunate and unnecessary. It’s still baffling.
Once the merge feature is ready, you may “combine multiple console-linked accounts to transfer Battle Royale cosmetic item purchases, lifetime wins, V-Bucks, and Save the World campaign access.”
