Onboarding Players in Fortnite Creative

To onboard a new player means to make them familiar with the basic rules of the game, how to win, and any other information that might not be obvious.

Don't assume that all players will know how to play your game without some simple onboarding. Onboarding is important for aspects of a game that are not immediately intuitive to the player. A smooth onboarding process gets the player into the game quickly, and with enough knowledge of the game objective to start playing.

If you don't successfully onboard players, they could leave your game before understanding it, and never return. This reduces player traffic, potential revenue, and even a shot at being featured in Discover. Good onboarding makes users excited to play your game.

There are three places where you can onboard your players:

• In the game description
• In a pregame lobby
• In the game itself

The Game Description

When you're ready to share a game, you can publish it privately (to share with friends and collaborators), or publicly. Any description you add to the Description page can do a lot to orient a player to the gameplay.
