Here’s a tech demo of UEFN as shown in GDC 2023:

UEFN allows creators to collaborate on both PC and consoles. By running a UEFN session on PC, console players can join the session via Fortnite and playtest in real-time. To get creators started, Epic Games has made years’ worth of Fortnite assets freely available via UEFN, and you can even import assets directly into UEFN for more customized and unique experiences. Thanks to Unreal Engine’s Lumen lighting system, players can create more immersive and lifelike experiences than the stylized look of Fortnite. Epic Games has even developed a custom programming language for UEFN, known as Verse.

Alongside UEFN, Epic Games has also introduced Creator Economy 2.0, a new ecosystem for Fortnite creators that incentivizes building with UEFN. In essence, this lets Fortnite island creators earn a payout based on how much engagement their content gets. Epic Games has promised 40% of its net earnings in the Fortnite Item shop and similar purchases to go to this initiative.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite is currently available for free via the Epic Games Store.
