How to merge Fortnite accounts: A comprehensive guide for PS4, Xbox and other devices

Fortnite Season 3 has finally introduced cars with its latest v13.40 update. Players love this new addition, as vehicles provide land mobility as well as a fresh perspective to the Fortnite that everyone loves and remembers.

For at least once in their lifetimes, however, all players might have wanted to shift to another platform. While Epic Games introduced this feature back in Season 9, they later removed it for unknown reasons. Merging accounts allows players to recover hard-earned cosmetics from a platform they no longer use, though they continue playing the game.

However, if you wish to transfer or merge your Fortnite accounts on different platforms, then this guide will give the required steps to accomplish that.
