What happens if I unlink my Xbox from Fortnite?

Unlinking your Xbox from your Fortnite/Epic Games account means you lose access to your saved progress, skins, V-Bucks, and items on that console, as data stays with the Epic account, not the Xbox.

It's generally discouraged unless you're changing to a different Epic account, as Epic imposes a 365-day restriction before you can link another Xbox to that Epic account.
