A wave of excitement is hitting Fortnite fans as the First Order Stormtrooper Outfit is available through a collaboration with Disney. However, linking Epic Games and MyDisney accounts has sparked confusion, affecting many players.

Linking Chaos

While some players are eager to claim this exclusive outfit, significant complications have arisen. Players must link their Epic Games account with a MyDisney account to get the outfit. One player shared,

"Link MyDisney Account to your Epic Games account. Open Fortnite Game and it'll show up to claim."

Despite this straightforward instruction, many are still having a tough time.

Canโ€™t Get It? Youโ€™re Not Alone

New comments from forums reveal recurring issues with the account linking process:

  • Common Errors: Players are encountering frequent error messages like "userid required." One noted,

    "I realized my problem was that I was using Firefox; it worked fine on Chrome."

  • Region Limitations: Even players from eligible regions face challenges. A user questioned whether linking works across platforms, asking,

    "Is it only for PC or can it be collected from all platforms?"

Interestingly, some found that it is also accessible on Xbox.

  • Different Workarounds: Alternative methods are emerging. One gamer suggested,

    "Don't download, just login to Epic Games store you'll get the skin whenever you login to the game."

Others praised Xbox Cloud Gaming, indicating,

"I got it through XCloud without even the need to download the game."

Sentiment Shifts

Despite the excitement surrounding the collaboration, frustration mounts over technical issues. Players are torn between enthusiasm for the new look and disappointment from the linking process.

Community Highlights:

  • ๐Ÿ”— Account Linking Required: Must connect Epic Games to MyDisney account.

  • ๐ŸŒ Cross-Platform Connectivity: Xbox players successfully linked accounts without downloading the game.

  • โš ๏ธ Ongoing Issues: Error messages persist, causing anxiety among players regarding access.

As the rollout continues through April 29, 2025, players are left wondering if Epic Games will address these issues quickly, keeping them engaged and satisfied.
