What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite and how to play them

Are you wondering what Creator Made Islands are in Fortnite and how you can play them? Here’s everything you need to know about them.

Player creativity has become a focal point in Fortnite, with Epic Games providing players tools to create nearly whatever they want. This ideal reached new heights with Creative 2.0, as players created insane playable levels.

While it may not catch every player’s fancy, sometimes quests require players to play a few of these created maps and modes, aka Creator Made Islands: for example, the TMNT Cowabunga event tasked players with this very objective.

Here’s what Creator Made Islands are and how you can play them in Fortnite Chapter 5.

What are Creator Made Islands in Fortnite?

Creator Made Islands refer to any Creative map within the game. These maps have been created in Creative 2.0 and UEFN by Fortnite players, not Epic Games.

You can easily check if the map is or is not a Creative map by looking at the thumbnail. If the level has an Epic Games logo in the top left of the thumbnail then it is not a player-made map, as shown above. Alternatively, if it doesn’t have the Epic Games logo then you can be sure it is a Creator Made Island.

Here are all the maps that are official Epic Games maps and not Creator Made Islands:

• Battle Royale
• Ranked Battle Royale
• Zero Build
• Ranked Zero Build
• Rocket Racing
• Fortnite Festival Main Stage
• Fortnite Festival Jam Stage
• LEGO Fortnite
• JokeNite
• Competitive Cups
