How to Report a Player in Fortnite
Use the right in-game report path for player behavior, text chat or voice chat, select the closest truthful reason and submit without escalating the interaction.
Open the menu, choose Report, select the player and reason, then press Accept to submit.
During a match, open the menu, choose the hamburger menu, select Report and then Submit a report. Choose A player or sidekick, select the player, select the closest reason and press Accept. For text or voice chat, use the conversation-specific report path so the report relates to the actual interaction.
Use the match menu when the player is in the current game.
The in-game flow is the direct route for behavior you observed in the match. It works from Fortnite's menu, with platform-specific buttons opening that menu while you are already playing.
In a match, open the menu icon. Epic lists Esc on PC/Mac, Options on PlayStation, Menu on Xbox and + on Switch as the match shortcuts.
Choose the three-line hamburger menu inside the Fortnite menu to reveal the report route.
Choose Report, then select Submit a report to enter Fortnite's player-report flow.
Select A player or sidekick. This keeps the report tied to the person or sidekick you mean to identify.
Choose the player name and the closest truthful reason from the available categories. Do not choose a more serious label just to add weight.
Select Accept to send the report. A report gives Epic information to review; it does not promise an instant visible outcome.
Use a recent player's profile if the moment has already ended.
You do not need to stay in the same match to use the player-report system. Epic says you can report from the in-game profile pages of players you recently played with, or from the voice-channel player list.
Open the profile page of a player you recently played with, or open the player from the voice-channel list when that is where the interaction occurred.
On the player's profile page, select More options. This opens actions specific to that player rather than the general lobby menu.
Choose Report, then select the reason that matches the behavior you are reporting.
Select Accept to send the report. Use this route for a recent player rather than trying to recreate a missing in-match menu.
Report the conversation or the exact message from the chat controls.
If text chat and text reporting are enabled, Fortnite can submit the conversation content for review. Use the chat-specific report option instead of describing a text interaction through an unrelated player-report category.
Open the profile icon, choose the Chats tab, select the conversation, open the three-dot menu, choose Report chat and press Submit.
Open the chat window and select the Report button below it. Press Submit once the report screen loads.
Epic says an individual message can be reported from the three dots next to that message when the option is available.
Voice Reporting is time-limited and must already be on for audio evidence.
Epic's Voice Reporting system captures the last five minutes of voice chat on a rolling basis when Voice Reporting is on. The audio stays on the device unless a participant submits a report; only the recent five-minute window is attached to that report.
When Voice Reporting is on, the latest five minutes are captured on a rolling basis. Older audio is deleted as new audio is recorded.
Epic says the captured audio stays on the console or PC rather than its servers until a report is submitted.
Open the profile icon, use the three dots under Social and choose Report chat. The report path can attach the eligible recent audio.
You can still block, mute and report when Voice Reporting was off, but audio evidence requires Voice Reporting to have been on before the conversation.
Select the closest accurate reason, not the most dramatic one.
The report menu asks for a reason after you select the player. Match the report category to the behavior you saw or heard. This keeps the report useful for review and protects the process from false or exaggerated claims.
Select the nearest in-game reason for the actual behavior. Do not invent details or ask other players to coordinate unrelated reports.
For text or voice interactions, use Report chat where the relevant conversation is available, rather than repeating it through a vague general route.
Epic's report flow identifies Illegal Content for content involving or promoting illegal activities and serious harmful behavior. Choose it only when that description fits what you are reporting.
Your submission may help Epic decide whether action is warranted under its Terms of Service and Code of Conduct; it does not create a promised automatic penalty.
End the interaction, preserve your space and avoid retaliation.
Once the report is submitted, the useful next step is usually to return to your own match or use the immediate player controls you need. Do not turn the report into an argument, public accusation or a request for others to submit false reports.
Choose the player, reason and report surface that matches the observed behavior: in-game, text conversation or voice conversation.
Epic states that a report may help it determine whether action is warranted under its Terms of Service and Code of Conduct.
Mute, block or leave if needed. A report should reduce the interaction, not extend it into harassment or threats of your own.
Reporting behavior is different from fixing a chat or account setting.
This guide stays with the official report paths. Voice settings, party joinability, parental permission and account security need separate answers so users do not mistake one control for another.
