In the recent edition of the Unreal Fest, the presentation had a dedicated section that encouraged Unreal Engine users to utilize UEFN and make creator-made islands for Fortnite. During the presentation about UEFN, Unreal Engine's team mentioned the following reasons why people should start building islands in Fortnite:

  • 100 million MAU (monthly active users)
  • More than 2/3 players spend time on creator-made islands
  • A great variety of tools available

This confirms that Fortnite has surpassed 100 million monthly active users worldwide. It is one of the most popular games in the world, with millions of concurrent players throughout the day.
