Players who wish to apply to become an official creator within Fortnite can do so here. Over time we expect the tracking metrics will change based on creator and player feedback, and we will update you of such changes as they occur.Įpic said it plans to roll out additional features which will reward players younger than 18 for their efforts, as well, though had no concrete details to share just yet. Player Retention: Islands where players return day-to-day and week-to-week indicate compelling gameplay, so consistent play and returning players contribute to this calculation.Player Popularity: Islands that attract new players and re-engage lapsed players signal an experience that Fortnite players love, so the number of players newly joining Fortnite, and lapsed players returning to Fortnite contribute to this calculation.At launch, the metrics fall into two groups: Today, payouts are based on engagement metrics that contribute to the health of the overall Fortnite ecosystem. In a lengthy blog post, Epic further explained how eligibility and payouts are calculated:Įngagement payouts reward creation of islands that players enjoy. Moving forward, 40% of the money made from in-game purchases will go into an "engagement pool" to be paid out to eligible creators "including independent creators' islands, and Epic's own islands like Battle Royale." Those eligible include players age 18 or older whose Fortnite accounts are at least 90 days old. With Creator Economy 2.0, Epic is revising how players get paid. However, that only helped creators if players remembered to manually enter their code when making purchases-though entering it just once would keep it there for future purchases unless otherwise undone by the player. Creator Codes were provided by Epic to certain players, streamers, and content creators. Previously players could enter a Creator Code when buying in-game items such as a seasonal battle pass, skins, and emotes. Not to be confused with the commonly used fan name for UEFN-"Creative 2.0"-the Creator Economy 2.0 is a remodeling of how creators within the Fortnite ecosystem will earn money for their work. These tools will be available in UEFN as a plug-in one-stop-shop where players can quickly find pre-fabricated assets, artwork, and more just as they may have before-only now it will all be found in one place. As a singular storefront, it will combine several of Epic's most popular game dev toolsets that previously existed on their own: Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab, Quixel Bridge, and the ArtStation Marketplace. Fab MarketplaceĪlongside the reveal of UEFN, Epic has announced it is building a "unified 3D marketplace" called Fab Marketplace. Players will need to get acquainted with Verse, though a live demo seemed to suggest it's relatively intuitive compared to some other programming languages, which historically have been one of the major barriers preventing some would-be creators from realizing their game dev dreams. UEFN uses a new programming language created by Epic called Verse, which the studio took time to outline during its State of Unreal 2023 presentation from GDC. The app is launching in a public beta state and co-exists with Fortnite's legacy Creative toolset, making it essentially an enhancement of those earlier tools rather than a wholesale replacement of them. With UEFN, anyone can design, develop, and publish their own custom experiences directly into Fortnite Creative mode. Running on Unreal Engine 5 with several of the engine's most touted features, such as the Lumen lighting technology that was introduced with Fortnite Chapter 4 last December, UEFN has been whispered about for months as "Creative 2.0," a name that now proves a bit redundant given Epic's parallel unveiling of Creator Economy 2.0, which we'll get to further down in this article. Known as UEFN for short, Unreal Editor for Fortnite is a free application available now on the Epic Games Store which seeks to massively improve the tools players have at their disposal for creating new games and experiences within Fortnite Creative mode.
