A new season of Fortnite is here, and v17.00’s update for Fortnite Creative brings a new Hub Island template and gallery prefab, as well as the HUD Controller device to allow you to get rid of unnecessary clutter. The update also delivers a visual to several devices and additional gameplay adjustments to assist Creators. 

HUD Controller Device

We know not every game is about shooting/building/editing, and we’ve taken that into account with the introduction of the HUD Controller. Inspired by Creator feedback, with this device you can now hide elements of the player HUD that aren’t relevant to your game, allowing your players to experience a more streamlined look and feel. ...

Hey, everyone!

Starting today, all Bundles that are sold for V-Bucks in the Item Shop can be gifted to a friend. Previously, not all Bundles were eligible to be gifted, as there was a chance your friend already owned items in a particular Bundle. 

With today’s v16.50 update, we’ve introduced dynamic Bundle gifting. This means that if your friend already owns items in a certain Bundle, you can gift them everything in the Bundle BUT those items. You’ll only pay for the specific Bundle items you’re gifting, so the final V-Bucks price will be less than that of the full Bundle.
