Publishing From The Creator Portal

You’ve tinkered with the tools, devices, and assets to build the game of your dreams. You’ve created at least one island and Fortnite Developer & Engagement Program.  Now you’re ready to take that next step and publish your island.

Keep in mind that your island must comply with the Fortnite Developer Rules before it can be considered for publishing.

After your island is out there, you can (and should!) continue to iterate and manage your island’s Discover thumbnail and trailer video from the Creator Portal.

The Publishing Workflow

When you're ready to reveal your island to the world, start the publishing process from Fortnite Creative or UEFN.

Initiate the Publishing Process

From Fortnite Creative, go to Creative Island Settings > Overview, and click Publish Island.

From UEFN, click the Project dropdown in the toolbar, then select Publish Project. This creates a new private version code.

Publish in Creator Portal

Once you’re in the Creator Portal, you’re ready to create a new release and submit it for moderation.  To create a new release from your private version, follow these steps.
