PSA: Apple Ending Sign-In Support For Fortnite, Epic Games Accounts
<p>As of September 11, 2020 users will no longer be able to access their Epic Games accounts via Apple ID in the wake of their <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/epics-fortnite-ban-and-apple-google-legal-battle-e/1100-6480913/">ongoing legal feud</a>. If you're someone who was using an Apple ID to sign in to an Epic Games account, including for use in <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/fortnite/">Fortnite</a>, you need to update your email and password as soon as possible.</p><p dir="ltr">Detailed directions for how to do this can be found on<a href="https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/epic-accounts-c74/connect-accounts-c110/how-do-i-retain-access-to-my-epic-games-account-after-sign-in-with-apple-ends-a6894"> Epic's site</a>, but the gist is that you'll need to head over to your general settings with your Apple ID and change your email address to your most current, non-Apple ID one.

To reset your email after Apple support has ended, go to the Epic Games <a href="https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/contact-us?metadata=eyJoaXN0b3J5TGlua3MiOlt7InVybCI6Ii9lcGljLWFjY291bnRzLWM3NCIsInRpdGxlIjoiRXBpYyBBY2NvdW50cyJ9LHsidXJsIjoiL2VwaWMtYWNjb3VudHMtYzc0L2Nvbm5lY3QtYWNjb3VudHMtYzExMC9ob3ctZG8taS1yZXRhaW4tYWNjZXNzLXRvLW15LWVwaWMtZ2FtZXMtYWNjb3VudC1hZnRlci1zaWduLWluLXdpdGgtYXBwbGUtZW5kcy1hNjg5NCIsInRpdGxlIjoiSG93IGRvIEkgcmV0YWluIGFjY2VzcyB0byBteSBFcGljIEdhbWVzIGFjY291bnQgYWZ0ZXIg4oCcU2lnbiBpbiB3aXRoIEFwcGxl4oCdIGVuZHM/In1dLCJjYXRlZ29yeUlkIjo3NH0=">Contact Us </a>page and follow the prompts.
