What are Account Levels & how to earn them in Fortnite

Account Levels in Fortnite track your progress across seasons. Here’s how you can earn them and check your current level.

Fortnite’s Account Level is a must-check if you want to see how many times you’ve leveled up since you started playing the Battle Royale or simply want to show off to your friends.

You can also gain extra Account Levels to complete various objectives and challenges or unlock other skins and cosmetics such as the free Felina Ranked skin in Chapter 5 Season 4.

So, here’s everything you need to know about viewing and getting them.

What are Account Levels in Fortnite?

Your Account Level marks your progress across every Fortnite chapter and season that you’ve played so far. This is separate from your current Season Level which appears above you in the Lobby.

For example, let’s say you started playing Fortnite in Chapter 3: Season 4 and reached Level 80, then you reach Level 60 during Chapter 4: Season 1. Your current Account Level would then be Level 140.

Having a higher Account Level than other players doesn’t affect anything in the game – it’s simply a sign of how long you’ve been playing Fortnite.

How to earn Account Levels in Fortnite
