Hi all,

I am a newbie and apologies if this topic has been answered previously. I got a PS4 for my son as Christmas and went and set up a Master/Sub account, which now I know restricts a lot of features, like broadcasting to Youtube. He has an Xbox One and plays Fortnite also on this but I want the ability to play on both devises.

I though nothing of it and linked his PSN account to this Fortnite acc and this worked successfully but now I need to unlink and re-link to my own PSN account.
I found out this is not possible and the only solution that I can see from searching online is to get Sony to delete my Master Account and the linked Sub account.

Can anyone tell me if they have done this and was it successful? What I don't want, is to to get into the situation that I get Sony to delete the PSN account and then I cannot link the Epic Account to the new PSN account and the original PSN is no longer available after deletion.

I always thought of myself as a techie but I am beginning to think that I am too old for these issues.

You'd have to contact EpicGames but the likely hood of them actually helping you with this as people sell accounts and this is how they'd do it by unlinking everything from Epi cGames, sadly for situations like yours it makes changing it to another PSN/XB1 account impossible.


Edit: I am unaware if you delete the actual PSN if it would still appear on Epic Side, so you'd have to actually contact them anyway to find out if this is the case or not, but keep in mind doing this you loose everything else on the account

im pretty sure you can unlink via epic games site as thats how i had to link my nintendo account to give fortnite switch a go seeing how it handled, you can disconnect it via epic games i doubled checked, you dont need to contact anyone.

as to delete a playstation account i think via playstation.com might be able to do it, if not only contacting sony can do it, same with unlinking psn accounts from another psn account
