The Epic Games account can link to other gaming platforms to make things easier. However, it may not be what you want. Therefore, we’re teaching you how to unlink your Epic Games account from PS4 or PS5.
The Epic Games app can be a bit cryptic. Menus and options are not easy to find or use. Disconnecting your account from other stores and platforms follows the rules. It is not intuitive.
In fact, the workaround is through the Epic Games website. You can’t do it on the app or the console. You’re probably using an Epic Games account to play Fortnite. We’re also teaching you how to sign your Epic Games account to Sony’s console if you’re unfamiliar.
How to Unlink Epic Games Account From PS4 or PS5?
The Epic Games app is not compatible with the PS4 directly, so there’s no way to unlock the account on the console.
Instead, you must go to the website and sign your console out. Even though it’s not intuitive, the instructions are easy to follow:
Because the Epic Games app isn’t compatible with your PS4, you’ll have to go to the Epic Games website to sign out.
- Go to the Epic Games website on your PC, and log into your account
- Hover the cursor to your username in the top-right corner
- On the dropdown menu, click “Account”
- On the left sidebar, click on “Connections”
- Click the “Accounts”
- Scroll down to the PlayStation Network area, and click the “Disconnect” button (it’s a gray button)
- Confirm your disconnection on the pop-up window. You must check the boxes to finish the process
These steps will work on PS4 or PS5, as you do them through the web page. Therefore, the next time you play the Battle Royale on a Sony console, the game will ask you to log in to an account.
From that point, you may use your PSN network or another Epic Games account. In particular, if you choose “Skip these steps,” the game will run with your default PSN credentials. Otherwise, the “Link” option will prompt you to use Epic’s system.
How to Link PS4 or PS5 to Epic Games?
Lastly, we’re teaching you how to link your PS4 or PS5 to an Epic Games account.
There’re two ways to do it. The first one is through the website:
- Go back to the Epic Games website and log-in
- Hover the cursor to your username in the upper-right, and click on “Account”
- On the left menu, click on Connections
- Go to the “Accounts” tab
- Scroll down to PlayStation Network and press “Connect”
- Select Link account
- Log in with your PSN credentials. From now on, Epic exclusive games will run with the Epic account or prompt you to use it
The second option is by opening Fornite on the console:
- Open Fortnite on PS4 or PS5
- Select “Link an Account”
- You will see a code on the screen. Write it down, as you’re going to use it to link the account
- Type the code on this site with your PC or smartphone and click Continue
- Sign-in to Epic Games
- Confirm
This second process requires you to use the PC, so you may try it on the website from the beginning.
