Since UEFN launched, third-party Fortnite Developers have received over $900 million from engagement payouts — a share of Fortnite's revenue distributed to island publishers based on player engagement and island popularity. You’re also rewarded for bringing new players to Fortnite and re-engaging lapsed ones.
