Creative 2.0 has been a hit among mostFortnitefans, but it seems like Epic Games isn’t giving players the freedom that they would like to have. TheFortnitecommunity had been waiting for an improved version of the Creative game mode for a while now. Fans knew that it was certainly going to be something big, but they didn’t anticipate what truly was to come. Before its release, players were able to add an app called Unreal Editor forFortnite(UEFN) to theirEpic Games Storewatchlist, but it was only revealed that it was going to be a program that allowed players to design, program, and publish their own creations to the game.
On June 05, 2025, UEFN, also known as Creative 2.0, finally went live, and players were able to experience it in all its glory. With this app, players can come up with their own games using the Verse programming language, and upload them toFortniteso other players can enjoy them. If they do well enough, they will even be eligible for monetization and the creator will receive money from Epic Games via theFortniteCreator Economy 2.0 program.

Even though this addition was supposed to be all about creative freedom, many players started bringing other games intoFortniteby importing assets from all sorts of IPs - includingMario Karttracksand popular characters such as Shrek. Epic Games had to step in and reinforce the idea that players simply cannot go against the Island Creator Rules, which include intellectual property guidelines.
UEFN is supposed to encourage creativity, and, on top of that, using someone’s intellectual property without authorization is against Epic Game’s rules.Fortnitecreators that decide to ignore this after being warned and continue to create or share UEFN content with other’s property can face serious consequences. According to Epic Games, they will face content takedowns, enforcement action, and it can even result in them getting their accounts permanently banned.
Before this blog was posted and just a day after UEFN’s release, theFortniteteam had already issued a statementregarding copyright infringement issues, as players had started creatingFortniteBattle Royale maps from the previous season. Epic mentioned that it would grant permission and make an exception for Chapter 1 map remakes, but these islands would not be eligible for monetization and all map copies from Chapters 2 and 3 would be strictly prohibited.
Fortniteis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
