What Happens When You Unlink an Account Fortnite?

Will I Lose My Fortnite Skins?
When you unlink your account from Fortnite, you’ll no longer have access to your skins, outfits, and other cosmetic items from that account. However, your purchased items will still be tied to your Epic Games account. This means that even if you unlink your Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, or Mobile account, you can still access your purchased items from another linked account.

Your account progress, including your V-Bucks balance, will be unaffected when you unlink an account from Fortnite. V-Bucks are account-based, so you won’t lose them. Similarly, any purchases you made using V-Bucks or real money will still be accessible from your Epic Games account.
