How to Change Your Name in Fortnite

Adjusting your name within Fortnite proves beneficial when aiming to update your displayed identity, adopt a fresh in-game persona, or merely revamp your account appearance. Your Fortnite display identity correlates with your Epic Games account, typically modified through Epic Games account settings instead of within the game itself.

Follow these straightforward steps to alter the name visible to fellow players. Begin by opening the Epic Games website via your device, whether smartphone, tablet, or computer. Sign in using the Epic Games account associated with your Fortnite account, ensuring you select the appropriate profile. Proceed to your Account Settings by clicking your profile icon and selecting Account or Account Settings.

Navigate to the area displaying your account details and current display name. Within this section, locate your existing display name. Click the edit option beside the Display Name field. Input the new name you wish to utilize for Fortnite, ensuring it adheres to Epic Games' guidelines and does not incorporate any inappropriate or prohibited content.

Double-check the spelling of the new name you've entered. Confirm the name change by re-entering the new display name and affirming your understanding of the modification. You may need to fulfill additional verification steps before the new name is officially saved. Upon successful completion of any required verification, save the changes.

Launch Fortnite and verify your updated display name. The new name should now be visible after the account information has been refreshed. Note that on certain platforms, your console username might persist, appearing instead of your Epic Games display name. To confirm the change, re-enter Fortnite and check your profile. The new display name should now be reflected.
