Mastering Fortnite: How to Easily Log Into Your Epic Account

If you are playing Fortnite on a Mac PC, you may find it impossible to play the game due to a legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple that has resulted in Apple identifying Fortnite as a malicious application and disabling its use. Fortnite’s presence in console stores helps its users get around this issue by enabling them to download the game directly from Epic’s website onto a console device. Once on the console, users can access their account credentials and playing history without further involving a PC or Apple device.

Therefore, there are three steps to logging into an Epic Account for Fortnite:

• Create an account on the Epic Games website.
• Download and manually install Fortnite on your Console, iOS and Android devices. If you are downloading and installing the game through the Apple App Store, do so while it is available. If you have automatic updates turned on, avoid updating the application.
• Log into Fortnite with your Epic account.
