$1 billion-plus has been paid to Unreal Editor for Fortnite creators since the platform launched in March 2023, marking a major scale milestone for Epic’s creator economy.
47% of all Fortnite player hours in May went to UEFN-made experiences, up from 38% a year earlier, showing user-created content is taking a larger share of engagement.
Mobile playtime in UEFN games has more than doubled over the past year after Fortnite returned to Google Play and the App Store worldwide.
75 million monthly active users on Fortnite give Epic a large audience to funnel toward custom games, reinforcing UEFN as a core monetization and retention engine.
