Crossplay is the next big leap in gaming, and Epic Games has been ahead of the curve for a few years. When playing Fortnite, you can play many other consoles or even mobile device users. You can play against all supported devices that can play Fortnite. You can tell who you're playing against by the icon that appears next to their name. But what about your saved account progress when playing across multiple platforms?
How to Link a Fortnite Account to Multiple Platforms
Your progress in Fortnite, along with all milestones, cosmetics, and everything else, is stored in the cloud, so your data is always safe. If you link your account to multiple platforms, all of this data is accessible from each platform you link it to. That means you can start playing Fortnite on your PC or console, then maybe you fancy kicking back and playing on your phone, you can do and carry on with everything intact.
To play Fortnite, you need an Epic Games account, so you've already passed the first step. Now log into the Epic Games website, and in the top right corner of the page, your account username should be there. Hover over your name and another menu appears. In this menu, click on Account.

Once on this new page, in the left menu, find and click on Connections. From there, click Accounts next to Apps, and you'll see the image above, a screen with six accounts that you can link to your Epic account.
For each account you want to link, click Connect. Another page will open giving you more details and an account link option. Clicking on Link Account will direct you to the official website of the account you are linking, and you will need to sign in with that account to sign in to your Epic Games account.
For example, clicking Sign In under PlayStation Network will prompt you to sign in with your PlayStation account. Once you've done that, you'll be returned to the login page, and where it once said Connect will now change to Disconnect if it worked.
With any account you want linked to your Epic account, you can track your progress and play using your favorite cosmetics across all platforms!
