Epic's Picks in Fortnite

Epic’s Picks is an editorial program designed to help raise player visibility for innovative Fortnite islands. The objective is to incentivize the creation of highly polished and boundary-pushing UEFN games, and help player discover them.

Policy Summary

• Each week, Epic will highlight four islands in Epic’s Picks.
• Islands will have larger thumbnails in Discover and will autoplay trailers on hover.
• Islands in Epic’s Picks that reach more than 4,000 CCU can trigger Trending in Discover and may appear in the Homebar for players until they reach an impressions cap.
• After seven days in Epic’s Picks, islands that reached more than 2,000 CCU will be recommended for promotion in the in-Fortnite news (MOTD).

• You must apply and be selected in order to be featured in Epic’s Picks, and islands must be published and public before applying.
• If an island is selected for Epic’s Picks, it can be re-featured every three months.
• Islands will not be reconsidered for one month after being rejected.
• Developer accounts whose islands are featured in Epic’s Picks cannot have another island featured again for one month starting from the date they first appear in Epic’s Picks.
