UPDATE (December 17, 2020)

We've released a maintenance patch on PlayStation 5 to address Fortnite outputting at 1080p instead of 4K when not in 120 FPS Mode for players with certain displays.

With the release of this patch, for the "120 FPS Mode" option to appear in Fortnite on PS5, please make sure "Performance Mode" is enabled in your console settings (Save Data and Game/App Settings > Game Presets > Performance Mode).

For players who prefer 4K over 120 FPS, please make sure "Performance Mode" isn't enabled in your PS5 console settings.

UPDATE (December 15, 2020)

Hey Creators!

Let’s kickoff 2021 in an extraordinary way with our biggest callout yet. This time, we’re asking  for your help creating games that will define entirely new genres in Creative. You have the opportunity to make an impact in defining the game mode you love so much and receive an extended period of featuring in the Hub.

We’re challenging you to create Sandbox RPG, Social Simulation, Survival, Job Simulation, Social Deduction, and Tycoon games. We understand there are limitations in Creative and making these games won’t come out perfectly. We’re most interested in the level of detail, art quality, consistency, and complexity of game mechanics. If we don’t get any submission that meets our standards for a specific genre, we will wait to feature one until we do. We’ve provided a short detailed description of each genre below.

Got an idea for a ...
