You need Xbox live gold to play Fortnite on XBox, the other platforms all don't require an online subscription (yet)

For ps4 it doesn't really matter (to me) as I have ps+ and my kids can play on the primary console with their account regardless (yet it is convenient they can use their own account to play Fortnite on the pro which is my secondary) however I don't plan on getting Nintendo live (or whatever it will be called) I'm just curious if I should warn him about leveling up his character on Switch instead of ps4. I don't think he cares anyway, does it make any difference in the game?

PS4 locks out EG accounts from Switch. Playing on Switch also disables the ability to play Fortnite on PS4.

You can play the same EG accounts on X1 and Switch but not PS4. PS4 locks out EG accounts associated with other console platforms. Something to consider.

The same is said about Xbox. It locks you out of PS4, and vise versa.

It just isn't a big deal because no one wants to do that. The reason it has come to everyone attention and is a big deal now is because you have like a million PS4 owners who want to play Fortnite on the go (their switch), so a million people upset versus like nobody upset that they couldn't log into Xbox or PS4 switching. No one ever noticed, cause why would you switch consoles? If you own both, you likely have them both hooked up to same tv and thus only ever use the same one to play fortnite. So it was a problem that went unnoticed before.
