Knowing how to change your name in Fortnite is useful if you want to update your display name, use a new gaming identity, or simply give your account a fresh look. Your Fortnite display name is linked to your Epic Games account, so you normally change it through your Epic Games account settings rather than directly inside the game. With a few simple steps, you can update the name that appears to other players.
-
Open Your Epic Games Account
Start by opening the Epic Games website using your phone, tablet, or computer.
Sign in using the Epic Games account connected to your Fortnite account.
- Open the Epic Games website
- Sign in to your account
- Make sure you use the correct account
-
Open Your Account Settings
After signing in, click your profile icon and open Account or Account Settings.
Look for the section containing your account information and display name.
- Open your account settings
- Find your account information

Edit Your Display Name

Enter the new name you want to use for Fortnite.
Make sure the name follows Epic Games’ rules and does not contain inappropriate or prohibited content.
- Select the Display Name field

Confirm the Name Change
Enter your new display name again if requested and confirm that you understand the change.
