Engagement Payouts in Fortnite Creative

Engagement payouts proportionally distribute a percentage of the net revenue from Fortnite’s Item Shop and most real-money purchases to all island publishers on a monthly basis. Payouts are based on what players enjoy in Fortnite, and account for island popularity, engagement, attracting new players, and other measurements described below.

We will continue to update the metrics that calculate engagement payouts to account for the current state of tools in both Fortnite’s developer ecosystem and our roadmap.

Epic’s existing Support-A-Creator (SAC) program is separate from the Engagement Payout program.

The calculation of your island’s engagement will be determined for the calendar month, which means from the first of the month to the end. Payouts occur 30 days after the end of the calendar month.

Engagement payouts are available to developers 18 years of age and older.
