Disconnections


You can find all your in-game connections in our Connections section. PlayVS requires each player to have an accurate in-game name that will be used at match time.
PlayVS Tip: Be mindful of the accounts you use for home gameplay and school gameplay. In-game names will not be updated due to player banned accounts.

  1. Login to your PlayVS account at www.playvs.com

  2. Click your Avatar/Your Account located in the upper right hand corner.

  3. Click on Account Settings

4. Scroll down to Recommended Connections ( The first recommended connection on the page is for League of Legends)

Epic Games Account ( Fortnite and Rocket League)

Our Epic Games connection is used for both our Fortnite and Rocket League players. Below will show you how to connect your Epic Games account for each of the titles listed above.

  1. Scroll down to your Epic Games connection and hit the orange connect:

  2. Choose the correct option for how you sign in to your Epic Games account(Note: for some of the selections you will be directed to sign in using the account for your selection) then once you input information and connect, allow permission from PlayVS for your Epic Games display name.

If you are a player who competes in Fortnite, you are done and should check that your Epic Games account on PlayVS correctly matches the account you are using to compete in our Fortnite Leagues. For Rocket League follow the next steps to complete activation.

  1. In order to complete account connection for Rocket League, you will need to link and select the platform you compete on, to do so follow the link listed below ( This link is also in your recommended connections section right below Epic Games)

  2. Follow the link and sign in again with your Epic Games account, you will then be prompted to link your account connections to Epic Games ( The left most selection is for PC players)

  3. After linking all of your accounts, click next. Select the platform you use to compete from left to right, PC through Epic Games, PC through Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Nintendo Switch. After you choose the platform, you will click preview and be prompted to ensure you know you are selecting this as your primary account. (Note: You can change your primary if you compete on a different platform in the future.)

  4. After hitting okay, you will be asked to confirm your selection. Once you confirm you can close out the Rocket League website and go back to your account connections on PlayVS. Go back to your Epic Games connection and use the drop down to select the Platform you just linked. (If linked correctly through Rocket League, it will display as activated. Note: for PC players you will select, Epic Games Account)

The platform selection step is very important for Rocket League as it is required to receive the invitations to compete in your matches weekly and track stats in game. Please make sure your platform is selected prior to match day.
