How to Link/Unlink an Epic Games Account From Your Nintendo Account
Description:
Information on how to link or unlink your Nintendo Account from an Epic Games account for titles such as Fortnite, Rocket League or Fall Guys.
Important: It is only possible to link one Nintendo Account to an Epic Games account. After linking your Nintendo Account to your Epic Games account, it will not be possible to switch the Nintendo Account linked even if you unlink the accounts.
Additional Information:
Linking an Epic Games account to your Nintendo Account allows you to access cross-play features within games where they are available.
If you don't choose to create a full account, an account will still be created with Epic Games using the display information that you choose. This account will be associated to your Nintendo Account.
Unlinking a Nintendo Account from an Epic Games account must be done by using a web browser to visit epicgames.com and cannot be done in-game.
Link an Account
What to Do:
Start the game on Nintendo Switch and select which user you wish to use.
This user's Nintendo Account will be used during the account link process.
Once the game loads, press the A Button to continue to the log in screen.
Select the option to either "Sign up," (create a new Epic account) "Log in," (Link an existing Epic account) or "No Thanks" (Use your Nintendo Account only to create a non-descript Epic account).
If you are not presented with any options to log-in, and instead the game starts, this indicates you have already linked an Epic account to your Nintendo Account. See the steps on unlinking if you wish to remove this link.
After selecting your preferred option, follow the prompts to either create a new Epic account or enter the e-mail address and password associated to your already created Epic account.
Once this process is done, your Nintendo Account will be linked to the Epic account and the game will start.
Unlink an Account
What to Do:
On a PC, visit https://www.epicgames.com/account/.
Select the Nintendo Switch icon to sign in to the account associated with your Nintendo Account.
Select "Sign In" when prompted to sign in to your Nintendo Account.
Enter the e-mail address and password associated with your Nintendo Account.
Select "I agree," if prompted to confirm that you would like share information with Epic Games.
If you are attempting to unlink an account that was automatically created, you will be prompted to enter an e-mail address and display name. Complete this process to continue.
After you have signed into your account on Epic Game's website, select "Connected Accounts" from the options on the left.
Select the "Disconnect" option below the Nintendo Switch icon.
If you have not done so yet, you will need to verify your e-mail address prior to disconnecting your Nintendo Account.
Select each of the 4 boxes to confirm you understand what data will be lost when an account is unlinked.
Select "Unlink."
If successful, "Connect" will be displayed below the Nintendo Switch Icon to indicate a Nintendo Account is no longer linked.
