- Fortnite Creators will be able to sell items and cosmetics from December 2025
- Until the end of 2026, they will keep all profits, how Epic will take 50% to help finance the game ecosystem
- Creators can pay to present their island on the sponsored line
If there is one thing you can say about Fortniteis that the solid blow of Epic Games does not remain motionless.
While we are waiting for the arrival of the new Power Rangers Megazord, the developer has confirmed that the creators and developers of Fortnite who build their own experiences will be able to sell items in the game.
Revalled as part of an update blog article of the creator ecosystem, Epic announced that in December, developers will be able to sell items from their own Fortnite islands in the game, completely jumping the showcase of the game.
While creators will finally gain 50% of the value of V-Bucks for the items sold, said Epic from December 2025 at the end of 2026, they will gain all of this value.
As for the way he calculates this value, Epic says: “To determine the value of the V-Bucks in US dollars in a given month, we take all the expenses of the real money of customers to buy V-Bucks (converted into US dollars), subtracting the platform and store costs (ranging from 12% on the Epic game store in 30% on current consoles) and divide it V-bucks by players. “
“Fortnite platform and average store costs are currently 26% (with specific costs from 12% on the Epic Games store to 30% on console platforms). Thus, 50% of the V-Bucks value is reflected in ~ 37% of retail expenses, and 100% of the V-Bucks value results in ~ 74%.”
The items that can be sold will adapt to “consumables” and “sustainable” categories, the first including single -use or limited articles, and seconds, including skin and other cosmetics.
If a designer wishes to highlight an article for sale, he can buy space on the sponsored line to highlight his island from other users, and Epic says that the creators will also gain additional income from a “ engagement pool ” which takes into account the way players pass on the island of a creator, the amount of money spent and how many users remain.
