Step 2: Log in to your Epic Games Store account (Enter login information and 2FA code if prompted by the system)
Step 3: In the Account Info tab, select the pencil icon next to Display Name.
Step 4: Enter the new player name for Fortnite that you want to change to.
Step 5: Check I acknowledge I cannot modify my display name again for 2 weeks after this change => click Confirm below. Once you've completed these steps, both your Epic Games display name and Fortnite in-game player name will change.
- Note: Unlike other platforms, Epic Games Store only allows users to change their names once every two weeks, so readers should consider before proceeding with the name change.
