They are the same thing. The only difference is that you use Safari rather than another web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-on-an-xbox-one\">3. <strong>On an Xbox One<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Console users&#8217; display names are not associated with their Epic Games account. They are instead reliant on their console service providers. This implies that your Fortnite display name is linked to your Xbox Gamertag on Xbox One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"cstm_banner_cta\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting that updating your Xbox Gamertag affects all games, not just Fortnite. To do so, take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 1<\/strong>: Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 2<\/strong>: Go to Profile &amp; System, then choose your current Gamertag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 3<\/strong>: Select My Profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 4<\/strong>: Click the Customise Profile button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 5<\/strong>: In the Choose New Gamertag section, enter the new Gamertag you wish to use. Alternatively, you may select one of the suggested Gamertags. If you wish to see another set of suggested usernames, choose More ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 6<\/strong>: Click the Check Availability button to determine if the Gamertag is already in use. If it is, select a different name or change it to make it unique. Confirm your option if it is not being used by anyone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 7<\/strong>: You can now leave the system&#8217;s screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Using a browser to change your Gamertag&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 1<\/strong>: Open your Microsoft Account in your web browser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 2<\/strong>: Select your username.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 3<\/strong>: Scroll down and select Go to Xbox Profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 4<\/strong>: Select Customise Profile from the drop-down menu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 5<\/strong>: To the right of your Gamertag, click the Change Gamertag symbol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 6<\/strong>: You may also go directly to the modify Gamertag screen by clicking on this link.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 7<\/strong>: Type in your new Gamertag and click Check Availability. If it isn&#8217;t, adjust it till it is. Alternatively, click Change Gamertag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 8<\/strong>: You should now have a new Gamertag.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PlayStation 4, like the Xbox, uses the PSN Name as the game&#8217;s login. To change it in Fortnite, you must first change your PSN name. Remember that this affects all of your other PlayStation Network games as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how it&#8217;s done:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"cstm_banner_cta\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-on-the-playstation-4\">4. <strong>On the PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 1<\/strong>: Navigate to Settings on your PS4&#8217;s main page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 2<\/strong>: Select Account Management from the drop-down option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 3<\/strong>: Navigate to Account Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 4<\/strong>: Scroll down and click Profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 5<\/strong>: Select an Online ID.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 6<\/strong>: In the window that displays, click &#8216;I Accept.&#8217; Please keep in mind that you are altering the name of your whole PSN account. Any other game whose progression is linked to that ID may have its data erased. If you agree, click the Continue button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 7<\/strong>: In this section, you will be able to input your new Online ID. You may do this right now or select one of the options on the right.

If the ID isn&#8217;t accessible, you&#8217;ll have to try again until you locate one that isn&#8217;t in use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 9<\/strong>: Exit from this screen.

Enter your login information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 6<\/strong>: When you&#8217;re finished, you&#8217;ll be taken back to Epic Games. If you are not returned to Epic Games, this signifies that this account has no progression data. Please double-check that you have logged into the proper account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>STEP 7<\/strong>: Enter the essential information, then click Create Account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are various reasons why someone would desire to alter their Fortnite username.
