So, you want to change your Fortnite name? Whether you have outgrown your old name or you just want something fresh, changing your display name in Fortnite is a quick and easy process. This guide will walk you through the steps to change your Fortnite name on any platform.

Changing your Fortnite name is done through the Epic Games website, not within the game itself. This is because your Fortnite name is tied to your Epic Games account. The good news is that you can change it for free every two weeks.

I remember when I first changed my Fortnite name. I had been using a name I made up ages ago, and it was a bit embarrassing. I was so excited to finally change it to something that better represented me. The process was so simple, and I was able to show off my new name in my next match. It felt like a fresh start, and my friends even said it sounded cooler.

Important Things to Keep in Mind

• You can only change your name once every two weeks. So, make sure you are happy with your new name before you confirm the change.
• Your new name must be unique. If someone else is already using the name you want, you will have to choose a different one.
• Your new name must not violate the Epic Games code of conduct. This means no offensive or inappropriate names.

I once tried to change my name to something I thought was clever, but it turned out to be too similar to another player's name. I had to go back and brainstorm a few more ideas before I found one that was available. It was a good reminder to have a few backup options in mind, just in case.

Changing your Fortnite name is a great way to refresh your gaming experience. And if you're looking to make some in-game purchases to go with your new name, consider using Playstorm. You can play fun games, earn points, and redeem them for gift cards to the App Store and Google Play Store.
