There might be some delays in moderation if there is a high volume of islands submitted, but don’t worry if your island takes a bit longer to process.

Haven’t started building yet? Get all the info on First Person Camera Mode device here: ...

The Beta release of the First Person Camera Mode device is approaching fast!

Keep sharing your feedback, we love hearing from you. More improvements and features are on the way. v33.10 will include further enhancements to first-person, including camera and weapon changes optimized for that perspective. Stay tuned!

We are looking into an issue in UEFN experiences where NPCs spawned from a Decoy Grenade may not navigate if no other AI devices are present in your island. This only happens during live play.

The workaround is to include an AI device in your island. There is no need to spawn anything from it.

Hi there, from the patch notes:

The hotkey menus in Create mode have been updated to make it easier for creators to access their favorite features faster! Quick Menu now has a setting to set the default tab when opening the Creative Menu. These options have also been added to Keyboard Controls in Settings for even more customization.

For all the details on these changes, see Hotkeys and Keybinding Shortcuts.

There is an intermittent issue with the RR Vehicle Spawner and spawned vehicles may fail to respond or function properly. We are working towards a fix for a future update.

Please be aware that converting your island to the new Time of Day Manager is a one-way conversion. Be sure to back up your island before converting.

There is an issue in already published Fortnite Creative islands where players will not see or be granted fishing rod items. We are working on a fix for a future update. The following workaround is available for new islands created after Fortnite Ecosystem v33.00.

• Place the Fishing Rod Barrel
• Break the Barrel and collect the Rod items
• Repeat this process to be sure you have both varieties
• Place the items into the item devices
• You’ll then see the fishing rod loaded again

The Vehicle Mod Boxes from Battle Royale Ch5S3 are now available in Creative! There are controls to customize the timing, types, and randomization. Check the release notes for all of the information.

Every island now has a unique deep link, allowing players to jump directly into Fortnite with your island preloaded in the home bar, ready to play. You’ll also find a suite of Stat Management devices that let you track and influence gameplay using custom statistics.

The Orbit Camera and Side Scroller devices are no longer in Beta! They are both now considered fully released. This release also features several updates to Scene Graph components and the overall system.

For weapons, you’ll find the Fury Assault Rifle, Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Veiled Precision SMG, Surgefire SMG, and more!

For the full list of bug fixes and more, check out the complete documentation:

We previously announced that you could continue working on your islands while UEFN was offline. We’ve since identified issues that prevent this from working consistently. As a result, UEFN will need to remain offline during Fortnite downtime for now. We hope to restore the ability to work offline in a future update.

Thank you, I'll get this back to the team.

u/Mission_Efficiency67 - could you give us a little more info about what is happening so we can investigate? Thank you!

Head to the Creator Portal’s Project Analytics section and you’ll find a new Island Satisfaction tab where you can view any feedback your island has received from post-game surveys. Now after playing creator-made islands, players may be prompted to complete a brief survey about their experience. Surveys appear at random – currently about 1 per every 500 plays, but we’ll continue to evaluate the optimal frequency.

The tab aggregates responses so you can track player sentiment over time. Players can be asked one of three questions:

- Did you have fun in the last game?

- On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the last game?

- Overall, was your last game ‘Way Too Easy’, ‘Just Right’, or ‘Way Too Difficult’?

Head over to Creator Portal to take a look: ...

Don’t miss the new Santa’s Toy Factory LEGO Template for UEFN, which includes instructions and examples to help you get started. You’ll get new assets and over 5,000 lines of example Verse code that will help you create dynamic and engaging LEGO Islands.

Get inspired with LEGO’s new sample island, LEGO Toy Factory Tycoon – which you can play using this code: 0524-6853-1181.

Players can now favorite creators on Fortnite.com! Here’s what this means for you:

- Build Your Following: Players can show their support by favoriting you, helping you grow your player base and making it easier for them to find your latest islands.

- Creator Search Results: Players can now easily find creators through search results. Selecting a creator’s result will open their Creator Page.

- Favorite Metrics: Track the number of times you’ve been favorited in the Creator Portal. These metrics are only visible to you.

Stay tuned! Creator Pages are coming directly to Fortnite later this year, allowing your community to keep up with your new and updated published islands in their Libraries. Until then, remember to update your Creator Page and share it on social media to build awareness for your brand.

For all the details, check out “Managing Your Creator Page” ...

The wait is over, you can now publish your Fortnite islands using the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) assets! Head to the Creator Portal at https://create.fortnite.com/welcome to submit your island through content review.

Thank you for waiting -- we can’t wait to see what you’ve created.

We're moving publishing for TMNT islands to tomorrow, November 14 at 10:00 AM ET. Thank you for your patience as we work on these connectivity issues.

We're aware of an issue where videos on Discover tiles are not playing in creator-made islands. This will be fixed in Fortnite Ecosystem v33.00.

We're investigating a number of issues related to UEFN and Creative connectivity, which is causing matchmaking issues across a number of experiences and some Creator services to timeout.

We're delaying the publishing of TMNT islands until we're able to resolve these issues.

We will keep you posted.
