Epic delays Fortnite’s account-merging tool to 2019

If you are waiting for the chance to bring together your Fortnite items from the PlayStation 4 version and the other versions together under one account, well you’re already used to waiting. Epic has delayed its account-merging tool, which it planned to launch before the end of November. Now, it is telling fans that it won’t have tool ready until sometime in 2019.

The merge tool is necessary because of Sony. Before September, Fortnite players needed a separate PlayStation 4 account. It would work with the mobile and PC releases of Fortnite, but not the other consoles. This meant if you made a purchase on the Switch, it wouldn’t carry over to the PS4.
