WELCOME FORTNITE CREATOR!

The Fortnite Creative & Unreal Editor for Fortnite tools allow you to create islands that can be published within Fortnite.

Fortnite aims to be a safe and fun place for people to play games or hang with their friends, exactly as we say in our Community Rules. 

As you create new islands, games, and experiences within Fortnite, we need your help to keep Fortnite safe, fun, and welcoming to everyone. We also want to make it easy for you to create and be successful with your Fortnite island. 

These rules outline the appropriate ways to create, promote, and monetize your Fortnite island, including some important dos and don’ts. Please take the time to read them carefully before you publish your first Fortnite island and best of luck!

TL;DR:

Whether built using Fortnite or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, your island is your responsibility, and you must comply with the following rules:

1. Your islands must comply with the rules below, and the Epic Games Content Guidelines.

2. Your behavior must comply with the rules below, and the Epic Games Community Rules.

3. Any promotion of your island, both within and outside of Fortnite, must comply with the rules below, and the Fortnite Creative Branding Guidelines. 

THE RULES

1. CONTENT RULES & GUIDELINES

As we work together to ensure Fortnite stays a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, your Fortnite content must follow these rules:

1.1 A Safe Environment - Don’t create content involving or promoting illegal activities, including the promotion of known real-world gangs or gang violence, the promotion of known real-world terrorist organizations or terrorism, harassment, bullying, assault, doxing, swatting, gambling, illegal drugs, animal cruelty, fraud, hacking, and piracy. Content that condones or incites violence against others has no place in Fortnite. Depictions of or threats of real-world violence will not be tolerated.

1.2 Keep Personal Info Private - To respect privacy and help combat deceptive practices (phishing, buying/selling account information), do not disclose or request personal information anywhere in your island. There is one exception to this rule: You may include your social media handles/channels as long as they don’t include a URL or QR code or a request for direct or private messages. To preserve the privacy of others, you must not gather, share, or exploit the personal information of individuals or organizations through the use of your island, or attempt to. Do not include videos or photographs of people (yourself or others) anywhere in your island or metadata (name, description, thumbnail, loading screen text, and/or Discover video). Epic's voice and text chat within Fortnite include protections like privacy settings, parental controls, and player reporting. So don't provide other chat methods on your island, like chat boxes or custom keyboards. 

1.3 Intolerance and Discrimination - Fortnite welcomes diversity in race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, national origin, and other groups. Content should not demean, dehumanize, marginalize, use hateful language against, perpetuate negative stereotypes about, or belittle other users or groups. Islands that promote or encourage intolerance or discrimination will not be allowed.

1.4 Love… Don’t Hate - Don’t create content that includes hateful symbols or depictions or content that glorifies or incites violence.

1.5 Bullying and Harassment - Respect others that participate in your creation. Interacting with others in a way that is predatory, threatening, intimidating, lewd, demeaning, derogatory, invasive of privacy, abusive, or that would cause real-world harm, including extortion, sextortion, and blackmail, is against the rules.

1.6 Be Original - Keep your creations original. Don't duplicate, copy, or reproduce other creators’ promotional assets such as thumbnails, titles, and/or descriptions. Don’t pass off your creations as another creator’s work, including by using similar game titles, imagery, etc. Don’t impersonate other players, creators, streamers, celebrities, companies, brands, government officials, Epic employees, or anyone else. Pretending to be someone else in order to deceive or defraud others is not okay. 

1.7 Respect IP Ownership - The content you create, publish, or use cannot infringe or violate someone else's rights, including their intellectual property rights (such as by infringing their copyright or trademark). You must own or have obtained the necessary rights to share and publish the content, and any such license must be broad enough to grant Epic a license consistent with the Fortnite EULA and the UEFN Supplemental Terms. More information about copyright can be found here.

1.8 Give Credit Where It’s Required - If you use content with a license that requires attribution, like Creative Commons 4.0 International, you must give any required credits, such as by using the "Attributions" section in the Creator Portal. Keep in mind that some licenses may not be compatible with this tool or with UEFN. If you're not sure that you can meet the license's attribution requirements, don't use the licensed content.

1.9 Play by the Rules - Do not create islands that promote the use of cheats, exploits, glitched items, server crashes, and bugs. Do not use your island as a way to scam other players.

1.10 Appropriate Language Only - Don’t name your island or include on your island obscene text or symbols, nor spelling variations, or visual depictions of text aimed at evading these rules.

1.11 All Bets Are Off - Don’t implement playable gambling content, raffles, or casino-style games. These are prohibited whether or not they involve real money or virtual currency.

1.12 Keep It on the Island - Other than social media handles/channels that comply with Rule 1.2, do not include external links or QR codes anywhere on your island.

1.13 Keep It Authentic - When promoting your island inside Fortnite, the assets (such as thumbnail images, lobby backgrounds, or videos) you use to represent your Fortnite island must accurately represent what players will experience in your island; you must not mislead players as to the sort of experience they will have. You may not incorporate photographs. You may not mention V-Bucks, currency, or rewards. You must not incorporate elements that mislead players with regards to XP gains, in-game items, or Quests. Where Fortnite already provides a visual element to indicate a feature to the players (e.g. the ability to earn XP in your island, or the selection border of a game tile), you must not imitate or supplement it.

• Thumbnails must adhere to and follow the Thumbnail Image Guidelines for Discover found in the Fortnite Creative Documentation.

1.14 Stay within Spec Requirements - Make sure the islands you are creating do not cause server issues, intentionally or not. Frame rates should stay above 30 FPS.

1.15 Align with Fortnite’s Game Rating - Fortnite is a teen-rated title and content that exceeds Fortnite’s rating is not allowed. For example, we don’t permit adult content (no pole dancing). Please refer to the IARC Overview for “Maximum Age Ratings in Fortnite." We also don't accept content which targets children under 13 as its primary audience (no nursery rhymes). Images and text used to promote your experience must be appropriate for a general audience (e.g. content that would merit a rating of ESRB Everyone 10+, or lower).

• Content that is suitable for a general audience cannot contain realistic violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, gore, references to gambling or use of strong language. Examples include:
  • Guns pointed at the viewer, and/or depictions of gunfire
  • Mildly sexualized depictions of a character’s body parts, such as breasts or buttocks
  • Images that elicit a strong sense of threat, dread or terror (e.g. grotesque creatures)
• Learn more: ESRB Ratings Principles and Guidelines.

We require all creators to obtain age ratings for your content via IARC (International Age Rating Coalition) upon publishing. When creating or publishing content for Fortnite, you must also follow these content rules:

1.16 Misuse of Epic Systems - Epic maintains many systems to keep our users safe and their data secure. Do not attempt to bypass these protections to gain unauthorized access to any Epic systems or data. Do not attempt to gain sensitive information from players. Do not attempt to create or distribute malicious software via Epic systems.

1.17 Educational Exceptions - We may permit exceptions at our discretion to our Island Creator Rules if the primary purpose of your island is focused on providing an educational, scientific, artistic, or historical experience.

1.18 Island Content Disclosures - When submitting your IARC Age Rating Questionnaire, you are required to accurately disclose relevant content within your Island in order to receive age appropriate ratings.

2. WORKING WITH OTHERS

2.1 If you engage another island creator to help you build your experience or, similarly, if you agree to help another island creator create their experience, it is an agreement between you and that person. Epic Games is in no way a party to your agreement and is not responsible for it in any way.

2.2 If you are interested in utilizing custom video content in your island and want to learn how to do that, please contact us using the Creator Support Form to find out how to get early access to that functionality.

2.3 Unreal Editor for Fortnite permits adult creators to work together in teams, which are managed using the Fortnite Creator Portal. As the owner of a team, you are responsible for ensuring the content created and published by that team adheres to these rules, even if another member of your team made or imported content that violates these rules.

3. PROMOTING YOUR ISLAND

We want to make it easy for you to promote your Fortnite island to help it be successful. Promotion of your island, whether within or outside of Fortnite, must follow these rules:

3.1.4. When promoting your island, the assets you use to represent your island must look and feel like your island, and follow our Fortnite Creative Branding Guidelines; they must not mislead players as to the sort of experience they will have. You may not incorporate photographs.

3.1.5. You must prominently include the following legal line on all promotional material: This is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Epic Games, Inc.
