Fortnite blocks your Switch login if you’ve played on PS4
Fortnite launched today for the Nintendo Switch, and included cross-play support for everything but the PlayStation 4. But fans have discovered a major annoyance when logging in: if your account was used on a PS4, they can’t access the Switch version at all.
Even worse, since Sony insists that you can’t undo linking accounts, you’ll have to create a new account just to play on the Switch. The Fortnite account tracks seasonal progression, DLC purchases, and in-game friends, but enforces certain limitations for cross-play purposes. (Thanks Eurogamer.)
Perhaps Sony and Epic Games can find a solution, but considering the Switch version already has an in-game warning notice, we can assume those negotiations already failed. We’ll keep you posted on further developments.

Fine with me I thank Sony for doing this the game socks anyways. Now I can spend time with my friends instead of them being on Lnite.

Cant see their reasoning here but whatever. Least no one has any advantage from the outset i guess.

That really sucks for PSN users hopefully one day they'll come to an agreement to activate crossplay.

Nothing Fortnite can do about it, this is simply caused by Sony and their dumbass moves.
