Not to be confused with the commonly used fan name for UEFN-'Creative 2.0'-the Creator Economy 2.0 is a remodeling of how creators within the Fortnite ecosystem will earn money for their work. These tools will be available in UEFN as a plug-in one-stop-shop where players can quickly find pre-fabricated assets, artwork, and more just as they may have before-only now it will all be found in one place. As a singular storefront, it will combine several of Epic's most popular game dev toolsets that previously existed on their own: Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab, Quixel Bridge, and the ArtStation Marketplace. Fab MarketplaceĪlongside the reveal of UEFN, Epic has announced it is building a 'unified 3D marketplace' called Fab Marketplace. Players will need to get acquainted with Verse, though a live demo seemed to suggest it's relatively intuitive compared to some other programming languages, which historically have been one of the major barriers preventing some would-be creators from realizing their game dev dreams. UEFN uses a new programming language created by Epic called Verse, which the studio took time to outline during its State of Unreal 2023 presentation from GDC. The app is launching in a public beta state and co-exists with Fortnite's legacy Creative toolset, making it essentially an enhancement of those earlier tools rather than a wholesale replacement of them.

With UEFN, anyone can design, develop, and publish their own custom experiences directly into Fortnite Creative mode. Running on Unreal Engine 5 with several of the engine's most touted features, such as the Lumen lighting technology that was introduced with Fortnite Chapter 4 last December, UEFN has been whispered about for months as 'Creative 2.0,' a name that now proves a bit redundant given Epic's parallel unveiling of Creator Economy 2.0, which we'll get to further down in this article. Known as UEFN for short, Unreal Editor for Fortnite is a free application available now on the Epic Games Store which seeks to massively improve the tools players have at their disposal for creating new games and experiences within Fortnite Creative mode.
