Переработка жанров Fortnite Discover теперь стала ключевым изменением в публикации

Epic’s Big Changes for Discover in Fortnite update says creators can now assign a genre to an island in Creator Portal when publishing or re-publishing. Epic says the change is part of a broader effort to help original games find the right audience. Big Changes for Discover in Fortnite

The company also says the new genre category is separate from island tags, which still act as additional signals for players. That distinction matters for builders because it changes how an island is described at publish time, not just how it is discovered later. Big Changes for Discover in Fortnite

Why this matters for creators

• Genres are now part of publishing and republishing.
• Tags remain available as separate discovery signals.
• Epic says the goal is better matching between players and original games.
• The update is aimed at improving Discover visibility for the right audiences.

For IslandAtlas readers, this is less about a flashy new feature and more about a structural change in Fortnite’s creator ecosystem. Islands that are clearly positioned by genre may benefit from the new surfacing rules, but Epic has not published a public formula for ranking changes in the article.
