Hi all, original post has an update.

You can now use the Save Point device in UEFN to save players’ progress over multiple game sessions. Progress, location, resources, and stats can now be saved.

This means that the next time players visit your island, they’ll join as new players without any previously saved data. Data migration is not possible at this time. We are exploring solutions and will share an update when one is available but we don't expect this will be resolved this year.

When you are ready to publish your island to Fortnite, you’ll complete the IARC content-rating questionnaire before submitting your island to moderation.
Please check the blog along with the following links to learn more about the rating...
