Overview
Fortnite Creative & UEFN. Build games, earn from engagement + direct item sales.
Fortnite isn't just a game — it's a platform where creators build and monetize their own games. Through UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite), you can create islands, games, and experiences. Epic shares 40% of Fortnite's net revenue with creators based on engagement, and through 2026, you keep 100% of direct item sales on your islands. Epic paid $352 million to creators in 2024 alone. This is one of the highest-paying creator programs in gaming.
💡 Insider tip
Focus on bringing NEW players to Fortnite through your islands — the new User Acquisition Rewards give you 75% of those players' contributions to the payout pool for their first 6 months. That's way higher than the standard split.
