In March 2023, Epic Games launched the public Unreal Editor for Fortnite, granting players the ability to create their own games directly within the battle royale. The company shares Fortnite's revenue with creators of such content. To date, Epic Games has paid them $479 million.

Epic Games shared this information at Unreal Fest 2024, adding that over a year and a half, users have created more than 134,000 islands in Fortnite.

The last time Epic Games revealed statistics was in March 2024 at the GDC 2024 conference. At that time, they reported that players had created 80,000 islands over the year and received $320 million in payouts. It is known that 40% of the sum went to just nine developers.
