Why to link Rocket League to Fortnite?

Linking your Rocket League account to Fortnite via your Epic Games account allows you to enjoy cross-game benefits, including sharing certain items and completing challenges that span both games.

How to link Rocket League to Fortnite

Here’s a detailed RL guide on how to link these two popular games together:

Step 1: Create or sign in to your Epic Games account

Before you can link Rocket League and Fortnite, you’ll need an Epic Games account. If you don’t have one yet:

1. Visit the Epic Games website: Go to epicgames.com and click on "Sign In" at the top right corner.
2. Create an account: If you don’t have an Epic Games account, click on "Sign Up" and follow the prompts to create one. Make sure to provide accurate information, especially your email address, as you’ll need to verify it.
3. Sign in: If you already have an account, simply sign in using your credentials.

Step 2: Link your Rocket League account

Once you have your Epic Games account ready, you can proceed to link your Rocket League account:

1. Go to the Rocket League activation page: Navigate to rocketleague.com/activate.
2. Sign in to your Epic Games account: If you’re not already signed in, you’ll be prompted to do so.
3. Link Rocket League to Epic Games: After signing in, you’ll see an option to link your Rocket League account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process.

Step 3: Linking Fortnite

Now that your Rocket League account is linked to Epic Games, you need to ensure that Fortnite is also connected to the same Epic Games account:

1. Open Fortnite: Launch Fortnite on your preferred platform (PC, console, or mobile).
2. Access account settings:
   • On PC or Console: Click on the settings menu (usually represented by a gear icon), then navigate to the "Account and Privacy" tab.
   • On Mobile: Tap the three horizontal lines at the top right corner of the screen, then go to "Settings" and "Account and Privacy."
3. Connect your Epic Games account: In the Account settings, you’ll see an option to connect or link your Epic Games account. If you haven’t already linked Fortnite to your Epic Games account, you’ll be prompted to do so. Sign in with the same Epic Games account you linked to Rocket League.

Step 4: Verify 

After linking both Rocket League and Fortnite to your Epic Games account:

1. Cross-check in Epic Games Launcher: Open the Epic Games Launcher on your PC and check that both Rocket League and Fortnite are listed under your account. This ensures that both games are properly linked.
2. Access shared content: If there are any cross-game rewards or items (such as the Fortnite Battle Bus in Rocket League), they should now be available in your inventory within the games.

Step 5: Enjoy the benefits

Now that your Rocket League and Fortnite accounts are linked, you can enjoy various cross-game features:

• Shared challenges: Participate in challenges that span both games, earning exclusive rewards.
• Cross-game items: Some items and rewards in Rocket League can be used or unlocked through Fortnite, and vice versa.
• Unified account management: Manage your gaming experience through your Epic Games account, with all linked games easily accessible.

By following these steps, you’ll easily link your Rocket League account to Fortnite via Epic Games, allowing for a unified experience across both games. 

Things you should know

First, your Shared Inventory will combine items from all linked Rocket League platforms. You can use these items across different platforms, but new items earned will stay with your primary account’s platform. So, pick your primary account carefully.

Credits and Esports Tokens won’t combine across platforms. You can only access these on the platform where you bought them, so remember this if you play on multiple devices.

Also, Platform-Specific Items remain tied to the original platform where they were earned. These items won't be available on other platforms, so they’ll only show up when you play on the device where they were originally acquired.

Finally, you can only change your Primary Account once every 24 hours. Your primary account’s level, ranks, and Rocket Pass progress will be used across all linked platforms, so choose wisely.

These points will help you manage your linked accounts and enjoy a smoother gaming experience.
