How to Change Your Name on Fortnite for Switch Users

Ever wondered how to switch up your gamer tag on Fortnite for Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Changing your username is a common question among the Fortnite community, especially for those gaming on the Switch.

Let’s dive into the steps on how you can change your name on Fortnite if you’re playing on the Nintendo Switch.

Quick Guide on Changing Your Fortnite Name on Switch

Good news! Changing your Fortnite name on the Nintendo Switch is possible, but it’s slightly different from other platforms. Your Fortnite display name is actually tied to your Epic Games account, not your Nintendo account. So, to change your Fortnite name, you’ll need to adjust it through your Epic Games account.

First, log into your Epic Games account on their official website. Navigate to the ‘Account’ section, and then click on ‘General’ on the left sidebar. Here, you’ll find your ‘Display Name’ right at the top. Click the ‘Edit’ button next to it, enter your new name, and hit ‘Confirm.’ Remember, you can only change your display name once every two weeks, so pick something you really like!
