Is it possible to transfer Fortnite account from one PS4 account to another?

[StevieP]

Basically I made the mistake of letting my son start his Fortnite experience (battle pass, progress etc) under my own PSN account and now I'd like to transfer it to his own PSN account if at all possible?

Doers anyone know if this can be done?

Yes it can mate, you have to email Epic in order to remove the restrictions beforehand though. I've had to do this twice, moving between PSN accounts and Switch accounts.

So it's a matter of Epic sorting it rather than Playstation? I don't even remember linking an Epic account to my PSN account to be perfectly honest!

I would email them first with your intentions, then when they say so unlink the account on their site. Email them again to let them know it's unlinked and they will tell you the restriction has been removed and you can sign in with that Epic account on the new PSN profile.

Should take a couple of emails back and forth but they have been great with sorting it out for me.

Right, I've e-mailed Epic but in the meantime I've logged in to my account that is linked to my PSN account on the website and if I go to "Connections" I can see that it is linked to my PSN account and there is a button to "Disconnect" - could it be as simple as clicking this button and then booting into the game under my son's PSN account and simply linking the two from there? (obviously I don't want him to lose all of his progress and the battle pass by doing this!)

*edit*

Also, I'd doing all this on the assumption that he will still be able to play online even though it's my account that has the PS+ subscription? (I've logged into Battlefront 2 and managed to play online under his login so I assume it will be the same?)

Sorted - thanks for the assist @Faded

We've just emailed epic to ask.about this and they said no son has just got his own PS and is desperate to transfer his progress over from his dad's account.
