Unreal Engine Faces AI Image Backlash Over Fortnite Porsche Post as X Account Deletes, Reuploads It
2 articles · Updated · OpenCritic · May 26
Unreal Engine drew a wave of criticism after its X account posted images of a Porsche Cayenne in Fortnite that users said looked AI-generated rather than captured from the game.
Battle Buses in the background appeared to have extra windows, and one balloon logo seemed to match Riot Games instead of Fortnite or Porsche, fueling claims the image contained obvious errors.
The account later deleted and reuploaded the post, saying Porsche—not Epic Games—created the concept image, though critics also pointed to a distorted Porsche logo as another quality-control miss.
The dispute undercut goodwill from Unreal Engine 6's weekend reveal in Rocket League and widened scrutiny of AI-generated marketing assets in major game-brand collaborations.
