Learning to change name in Fortnite is a fairly big swap, but a common one. Fortnite remains a success on pretty much every platform that it has been released on, including the Nintendo Switch. The game being on Switch means more casual players are trying the game out. Therefore, they may want to switch up their name from an old username.
In this guide, we'll break down how you can change your Fortnite. Fortunately, the process is the same, no matter what platform you're playing on. It's nice and easy, so you can get your ideal username in no time!
How to change your name in Fortnite

All players have to do is sign in to the game, click their name on top of the profile, select Public Profile, then click Update, which they should see below your name.
