DrexShopFortnite Account Console Linking, Explained
Fortnite accounts are Epic Games accounts. To play one on PlayStation, Xbox or Switch, the Epic account has to be connected to your console account. Here is what that means when you buy one.
What "already linked" means
Some accounts were connected to a console account (PlayStation, Xbox or Switch) by a previous owner. Epic limits how these connections can be changed, so an account that is already linked may not connect to your console. On PC and mobile, console linking doesn't matter: you just log in.
Before you buy for console
- Our accounts are picked at random from stock, so console linking varies by account
- If you need to play on PlayStation or Xbox, ask us on Telegram before buying
- On PC, mobile and cloud gaming you can log in straight away
How to check after you log in
Log in at epicgames.com, open your account settings and go to Connections. It lists every console account the Epic account is linked to.
Questions
Can I play a bought account on PS5 or Xbox?
Yes if the account isn't already linked to another console account. Linking varies by account, so ask before buying if you play on console.
Can I play it on PC?
Yes. On PC (and mobile) you just log in with the Epic email and password; console linking doesn't apply.
My account is already linked to a console. What now?
You can still play it on PC or mobile. If you needed it for console, message DrexShop on Telegram within 24 hours of delivery.
