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

- 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.
