Essential Gaming Tips for Parents: Setting Up Fortnite, Xbox, and Oculus for Your Kids

[2getherinchrist]

Gaming advice for mums and dads:
If you have bought your child a new gaming system for Christmas here are some tips for you
Fortnite: fortnite is run through an epic account, if you are transferring data from 1 device to another find out your epic account details and sign in using that, you won't lose any progress or anything you may have brought
If you buy Vbucks for the battle pass and manage to do all tasks you should earn enough stars to earn more VBucks which in turn should pay for the next battle pass
Xbox: if you have recently got a new xbox and have never used xbox before I highly recommend paying for game pass this way you can download a Ray of games including fortnite and get xbox live with it for a monthly fee
Oculus: remember if you know someone with an oculus to use there code when setting up that way your friend could earn up to £23 for free which you can spend on games or add ons in the shop
I hope this helps a little bit sorry I don't own PlayStation and am getting a switch myself for Christmas so haven't got any advice on this console yet xx.

What do you mean, use a code when setting up the oculus? Do they get store credits or something? Do I get them too? If anyone has a code, I’ll use it! I don’t know anyone with one and my daughter is getting one for Christmas.

@flocculus7 yes so it's basically a referral code, so people can give u a code and I'm not 100% sure how it works but I know the person whose code u use will get up to £23 to spend on there store xx

 

[flocculus7]

@2getherinchrist I see! If you have a code, I could try it out?

 

[rickkinsella]

@flocculus7 do you have to pay to set it up?? My sons just worked x

 

[flocculus7]

@rickkinsella not that I’m aware of. I haven’t taken it out the box and wrapped it lol

 

[flocculus7]

@leasama thanks. I’ve accepted your referral. Will it do everything it needs to once we activate it on Christmas Day now?

 

[leasama]

@flocculus7 I believe so! I think I've only ever had one other person accept a referral and I'm pretty sure it worked that way

 

[2getherinchrist]

@flocculus7 no you just need a Facebook account I think to set it all up I'm not 200% sure I can't remember xx

Switch: if you are planning on playing fortnite on a switch make sure your Nintendo account is the same email used on your other console if you have one otherwise u can't link it to your epic

@ohumhithere I got my kids a xbox they both have a switch but my sons switch has broke how do I find out what his epic account is? Lol I can't even remember when I set it all up in the first place I just know he's gonna wanna play fortnite

 

[dilipkumarpaswan]

@ohumhithere thats not true, my daughter has xbox and switch neither of which share the same email as eachother or as her epic account email All of them are connected though and use the same account. ( her Nintendo account set up by her dad, xbox account made by xbox when setting the console and her epic email is my old email lol) the only thing you cant do is merge 2 accounts.

 

[ohumhithere]

@dilipkumarpaswan can you play the same fortnite account on all consoles though? I use the one email and can play my fortnite account on the switch ps5 and Xbox

 

[dilipkumarpaswan]

@ohumhithere yes my daughter has the same account on both her switch and xbox

 

[ohumhithere]

@dilipkumarpaswan oh am glad they fixed that when fortnite first came to the switch you had to use the same email to make accounts

- don’t actually need game pass for Fortnite!

Playstation - Invest in PS+. Essential is worth a start, you get a few games each month. Use CDKeys or Shopto.net for discounted voucher codes, they are legitimate!
Black Friday is the best time to invest in further membership.
Memberships stack.
Most ps4 games now have a free next gen update, worth checking online and buying preowned from cex, game etc.
Download the PS app, gives you the ability to download all free games from all consoles. As via the console, you will only see games for that console. Eg I have a Ps4, yet with the app I can DL the free ps5 games and play them when I purchase the console at a later date.

 

[2getherinchrist]

@abraham123 yes I didn't mean it ad in you need game pass I meant it as in you can download alot of other games for free and you can also get fortnite on the console

 

[blazingtruth]

Fortnite is free

 

[rickkinsella]

You can get a free Microsoft account with your EE contract as your free gift thingy, instead of having EU roaming xx
