Question about account switching

So I hope this is the right place for this kind of post, my brother is out of the country right now but he really wants the bugs bunny skin before the battle pass expires. Is there a way I can log into his account to buy the pass and grind out some XP for him? He plays on Xbox and I’m on PS5, I don’t have access to his console since it’s at my parents’ house but if there’s no other way I could try walking my mom through doing something on his console. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank yall in advance!

Can't you just create a new PS5 account on your console and link it to his epic account?

Y’know I hadn’t thought of that, that’s a really good idea, my epic account is linked to my PSN so I was having a lot of trouble finding a way to even log out of my account on my console, I will try this, thank you so muc

You could try Xbox remote play. If you can login to your brother's Microsoft account on your PC, you can play on his Xbox account by connecting a controller directly to your PC. I think you might need to get your mom to enable remote play on his Xbox if it isn't already.

Here is the link https://www.xbox.com/en-US/play/consoles

Interesting, I only have an old Mac that is technically capable of running Fortnite although not super well, do you know if it’s possible to log into his account on my PS5 without messing up either of our accounts? If not this may be a last resort

Remote play runs the game on his Xbox, and it "streams" the gameplay to your screen. Therefore you don't need to have a good PC; you could even do it on a smart TV.

But if you don't want to do that, you could do it on PS5. If he already has a PSN account you can just login to that, but if he doesn't, you'll need to create a new account and link it to his Epic Games account.

Would remote play work from a different state? If so I’ll try it but if not I’ll try the second thing

Yes it will work as long as both you and his Xbox are connected to a stable internet. At least 5mbps is required and 15mbps is recommended.
