How do I unlink my console account from my Epic Games account?

We highly discourage unlinking your console account from your Epic Games account for these reasons:

  • Your Fortnite and Fall Guys game progress and purchases are stored on your Epic Games account, so once you unlink your console account, that console can no longer access that progress and those purchases. The data itself stays safe on your Epic Games account.
  • If you launch a game like Fortnite on the console you just unlinked, that console is no longer connected to any Epic Games account, so Epic will automatically create a new, empty Epic Games account for it with no progression. Your original Epic Games account still exists with all your progress, and you can sign in to it any time with your email and password.
  • If you play Rocket League and you unlink the account where your progress is stored (typically the device/console where you play Rocket League the most), your inventory and XP level on that account will be reset.

If you still want to unlink your console account, follow the steps below:

  1. Visit your Linked accounts (Opens in a new tab) page.
  2. Scroll to: Your linked accounts
  3. Expand the linked account you want to unlink and select Unlink
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to unlink your account.

I don't have access to the email address to remove my console account.

I still cannot remove my old platform account to connect my new account.

Someone linked a platform account to my Epic Games account, and I can't remove it.
