Fortnite players can merge their accounts in November

Sony is finally letting Epic fix its split-accounts problem. The PlayStation company announced today that it will enable crossplay, and that means you can enjoy Fortnite on PS4 while playing with your friends on Xbox One or Nintendo Switch. This will also free your Epic Account from Sony’s walled garden.

Since Fortnite launched on consoles, players have found that if they made an account on PlayStation 4, they couldn’t then use that Epic account on an Xbox One or Nintendo Switch. In order to play and make purchases on a Switch and PS4, for example, players had to make multiple accounts. This split up progression and items.
