Fortnite Creative 2.0 launched earlier this week, and creators want to know if they can monetize their creator codes.
Anyone with access to a PC can create a Fortnite Creative 2.0 island in Unreal Editor for Fortnite. The engine gives players all the tools necessary to build, design, and release a custom map with a unique story, setting, and mini-game.
Epic Games also launched Creator Economy 2.0 with payouts eligible to island publishers. According to Epic Games, creators can earn a profit based on "island popularity, engagement, and attracting new players."
Here's a breakdown of the limitations and rules for receiving monetization in Fortnite Creative 2.0.
Can I Monetize My Fortnite Creative 2.0 Creator Codes?
All original maps are eligible for a payout in Fortnite Creator Economy 2.0. However, Epic Games clarified that players will not be allowed to "create, publish, or monetize" seasonal variations of previous Fortnite maps.
Chapter 1 recreations, like the OG map built by Atlas Creative, are the exception. Players can publish their own remakes of Chapter 1 maps, but they will still be ineligible for monetization.
Epic Games has also removed the Support-A-Creator device from the game to encourage players to develop their own content without asking others to support them with their personal code. By simply playing a new Creative island, a player is now supporting its creator.
