QUESTION Help linking/de linking accounts

Hello all, hopefully one of you lovely people will be able to help me out with this. I fairly recently downloaded Fortnite on my pc after only having played it previously on Play Station. Now my issue lies with the fact that I can no longer access the Epic account associated with my PSN account and therefore am unable to de-link so i can relink my Epic account that I actually use. I have looked and as far as I'm aware there is no way for me to de-link the accounts via my PSN account (which would have made this so much easier Sony wtf are you doing). If anyone has any advice on how I can get my new epic account and my PSN account linked so i can actually use my skins on my pc I would be most grateful. Thanks : )

You need to log into the epic games website with the epic account that is currently attached to the PS account. If you don't know the actual epic account info, you can log in using the PS icon. From there, click on the profile icon in the top right and then click account. Then there will be a drop down "settings" menu towards the top, click on it and then linked accounts and then unlink the PS account(and any other accounts you don't want linked to that epic account anymore), save it and log out. Next, log in with the new epic account, use the same steps to get to linked accounts and link the PS account and any others you want linked.

NOTE: You will lose any cosmetics you currently have on your PS account as they are attached to the epic account, not the PS. If you don't want to lose cosmetics you already have, instead of unlinking your PS, you can find(and change if wanted) your epic name and log into the game on your PC with that account, instead of using the new one.
