Fortnite Creative Trends
The questions to ask before you build a UEFN island: which Fortnite Creative genres have players to spare, which islands are climbing this week, which tags the winners carry, and the numbers a good island in your genre actually hits. Refreshed daily.
Genre opportunity
Players on a typical day inside each genre's top 25 islands, against how many islands are fighting for them. More players per competing island means more room for a new island to be found. 276,001 islands are ranked across all genres right now.

Opportunity = players per day in the top 25 ÷ islands ranked in the genre. Players use the last complete UTC day. UEFN = share of the top 100 built in UEFN rather than Creative.
Rising this week
Biggest climbs on Epic's genre leaderboards compared with seven days ago. Not the giants at the top, the islands that are breaking through, and the tags they carry.

Benchmarks to beat
What a top 25 island in each genre actually does, so you can judge your own island against its genre rather than against Battle Royale. Medians over the last 7 days.

About Fortnite Creative Trends
This page tracks what is happening across Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands. It is built from Epic Games' public Fortnite Data API and refreshed every day, so the numbers reflect the current state of the game rather than a one-off report.
Genre opportunity compares how many islands compete in each genre with how many players it draws, so you can see where demand is high and competition is thin. Rising this week lists the islands that climbed the genre leaderboards fastest over the last seven days.
Tag trends shows which tags the top islands in each genre carry and which are gaining or losing ground. The benchmarks table gives the typical day-1 and day-7 retention, session length and favourites of a genre's top islands: the numbers a new island in that genre has to beat.
Use it before you start a new UEFN project to pick a genre and tags with real demand, and after launch to compare your island's retention with its genre. You can also look up any island by its code to see its own metrics.
Built from Epic Games' public Fortnite Data API: hourly genre leaderboards and the daily metrics of each genre's top 25 islands. Epic only reports islands with at least 5 players a day. Gelos Games is not affiliated with Epic Games.
