So spooky! I gotta check this out!

Awesome!!

There was an issue in our last update (v28.10) that caused thumbnails to be incorrectly regenerated.

This issue has been fixed in today's update. (v28.20) Thank you for your patience while we worked through this!

Fortnite v28.20 introduces Verse Stand-Up, a new template for UEFN that demonstrates how to use the Character device to bring Fortnite NPCs to life in your games.

Showcased in the template are two new devices now available for Creative and UEFN, the Chair device and the Input Trigger device. The chair device enables you to put players into a seated position in order to focus their view on a specific area. You’ll have options for the type of chair used and other presets. You can even create a custom chair based on your own imported static mesh.

The Input Trigger de...

You can now use the Creator Portal dashboard to dig into collected data and uncover important gameplay information, like where and when players drop off, or areas they find too difficult. The Analytics device is designed to work with other devices, by registering when players trigger them. It can be tied to when a player steps on a trigger, enters a volume, eliminates an enemy, presses a button, and more.

Previously, the Accolades device could be used to gain insight into player behavior. The introduction of the Analytics device allows for similar functionality without any reliance on the Accolades device or calibration.

Data is recorded daily and can be viewed in the Creator Portal at https://create.fortnite.com/welcome.

We’re looking into an issue where some UEFN islands may be timing out or crashing at the end of rounds. We’ll let you know when we have more information.

The Fortnite Ecosystem v28.20 update is here! Check out the new island settings and two new Creative island templates, Vehicle Domination and Linked Lake. You’ll also find a new Verse Stand-Up project template for UEFN. This template will show you how to create a comedy club using the new Chair and Input Trigger devices.

All nine core moddable weapons are available in the creative content browser under the new Moddable category and you’ll also find four Mythics! The Modded Weapon Case Gallery contains three weapon cases that spawn pre-modded weapons. You’ll also find new Prefabs & Galleries and more new consumables and weapons.

The new Analytics device for Creative and UEFN adds the ability to gather information about player behavior on your island to evaluate the number of times they interact with various gameplay elements and trigger events.

Bug fixes for Creative, UE...

Thanks for your feedback on the new Creative Inventory Browser and My Island UI. Whether you’ve encountered challenges or have suggestions for further enhancements, we're all ears.

We’re using this EDC Forum thread to post updates and gather feedback for the new Creative Inventory Browser and My Island Settings UI. This is just the beginning. Also, feel free to continue the discussion here; we'll be watching.

The UI change we implemented in the recent update enhances scalability and sets the stage for ongoing improvements. We’re continuing to work on the UI, improving the functionality of the home page with global search, and more. We also have bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements on the roadmap, and we loo...

We’re aware of an issue that may cause players to crash when sprinting on Grind Rails in both Battle Royale and creator islands.

In the meantime, we’ve disabled Sprinting while Grinding to prevent these crashes while we investigate the issue. As a note to creators, this may significantly impact experiences that make use of Grind Rails.

We're aware of an issue with Grind Rails in Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands where players may be unable to jump from one parallel rail to another. We are checking into it and let you know when we have more information.
