What You Need

There are multiple avenues you can take to log out of your account on PS4, all of which involve using a browser. This can be done from the PS4 itself or a PC, tablet, or phone. Since navigating the PS4’s browser is a bit clunky, you might want to consider using a separate device to do this.

Logging out via PS4

After you launch Fortnite, you might be looking for a specific log-out option from the main menu. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple, but there is a way to ensure you're logged out.

Step 1: Select Options from the game’s main menu, scroll down, and select the Support option. This will open up the PlayStation browser.

Step 2: You’ll be brought to the Epic Games website, so once the page loads, head to the top right of the screen and select Sign In.

Step 3: Use this to sign in to your Epic Games account (keep in mind that you might have to use a verification code to get signed in).

Step 4: After you’re in, go back to the same spot, and you’ll see your username. If you hover over it, a new option will appear labeled Account — select that option.

Step 5: This will direct you to a new page with several options on the left-hand side of the screen. You’ll want to click the Connections option.

Step 6: The submenu defaults to Apps, so click on Accounts. This will allow you to see a list of every Fortnite connection you’ve made, including the PlayStation Network.

Step 7: Select PlayStation Network, check all the boxes, then press Unlink. That logs you out of your Fortnite account on PS4. You can use the same steps to log out of other systems like Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Changing the user

To change to a different user, you’ll need to follow a couple of steps.

Step 1: Reboot the game.

Step 2: Upon rebooting, a sign-in page will appear on the screen. On that sign-in page, you can type in your preferred PS4 user info to switch accounts or add a new account entirely.

Logging out of a PS4 account via a PC

To log out of Fortnite on PS4, whether you’re using a phone, tablet, or PC, you can also follow the same steps listed above. You may find that the logout process seems even easier; your favored web browser may seem more familiar than the PS4’s browser. From start to finish, you’ll find that logging out via a PC is almost exactly the same as logging off a PS4 system.

Step 1: Navigate to the Epic Games website and log into your account using the top-right option (which is thoroughly explained above).

Step 2: Once you’ve finished that, you can investigate through your account.

Step 3: Click on Connections and unlink your PSN account. After you’ve disconnected that link, when you reopen Fortnite from your PS4, the game will prompt you to log in or create a new account.

As part of a new Fortnite weekly quest, players are required to secure Capture Points around the map. As expected, the game doesn't specify where to find Capture Points, and even if you do stumble upon one, claiming it can be a tricky task. Here's what you need to know about claiming Capture Points in Fortnite.
Where to find Capture Points

Capture Points are located in the center of each main hub across the map. These hubs include:

PS5 themes: Can you customize your homescreen?
A person plays Crash Bandicoot using a PS5 DualSense controller.

The PS5 launched with many features we loved from the PS4 missing. Over the years, a few have come back, but one that many aren't sure about is themes. These could be earned, downloaded, purchased, or come included with certain games that gave your home screen a new look and background soundtrack related to different games or concepts. This made customizing your home screen that much more fun and personal. However, is this feature on the PS5? Here's whether or not you can put custom themes on your new console, or change the background.
Does the PS5 have themes?

No, the PS5 does not have any themes. Instead, whenever you highlight a game or app on your home screen, the background will change to art related to that game, as well as show more information on it. While far from ideal, it is the closest we are likely to get to the themes we had on our PS4.
Can you change the background on a PS5?
Again, due to the PS5 dynamically changing the background depending on what you're currently looking at, there's no way to alter your background at this time. Since the background is constantly changing, even if you had a custom image, it would always be changing as you cycled through games. There are a few other ways you can customize your PS5, however, unless Sony gives us the option with an update, there's no way to set a theme on your PS5.
