Epic’s New Ban Wave: Why Account Sharing is Risky
Epic Games has always had rules against account sharing, but recently, they’ve taken enforcement to the next level. A new wave of bans has hit inactive and shared accounts, with stricter tracking methods in place.
How Does the Ban System Work?
Epic Games logs the IP addresses of every account login. If multiple accounts are accessed from different locations or suspiciously shared, those accounts risk being flagged. Once an IP is flagged, all associated accounts could face permanent bans—without exception.
What You Need to Do
- Do not share your account with friends.
- Avoid logging into other people’s accounts.
- If you’ve been account-sharing, stop now to avoid getting flagged.
This crackdown is not just about preventing cheating but also to combat account selling and security risks. So if you value your Fortnite account, make sure you’re the only one using it.
Upcoming Fortnite Collaborations & Leaks
Fortnite is known for its high-profile collaborations, and the latest leaks hint at some massive additions coming soon.
Shohei Ohtani Joins the Fortnite Icon Series
Baseball fans, rejoice! Shohei Ohtani, the MLB superstar known for both his pitching and hitting skills, is getting an Icon Series Skin on March 17th. His outfit will include a cel-shaded version and a Dodgers-themed jersey.
A Permanent Transformers Mode in Creative?
A new, permanent collaboration is coming to Fortnite Creative, rumored to feature Transformers. The mode will introduce a brand-new vehicle and allow players to create custom maps using Transformers assets. This could be one of the biggest additions to Creative mode in years.
Post Malone Could Be the Next Fortnite Festival Artist
Rumors are swirling that Post Malone may be the next featured artist in Fortnite Festival. While nothing is confirmed yet, trusted leaker China has hinted that he’ll have more information soon. If true, this could be a major draw for music and gaming fans alike.
Disney x Fortnite: A Theme Park Connection?
Fortnite’s partnership with Disney is still in development, but new details have emerged about how it could work. According to insiders, there will be a direct link between in-game experiences and real-world Disney parks.
It’s still unclear whether this will be a simple skin code giveaway or a more immersive experience, but given the scale of this collaboration, expectations are high.
Chapter 6 Roadmap: Five Seasons Confirmed
New leaks suggest that Fortnite Chapter 6 will have five full seasons. The game’s internal map system, Turtle Island, is set to remain active until version 38, confirming an extended chapter timeline.
This means Season 3 will be version 35, Season 4 will be version 36, and Season 5 will be version 37. Interestingly, there are no plans for an OG Season 3 since the OG mode is now permanent.
