We know developers have questions about Discover following recent updates. Join us May 27 at 2 PM ET for a Let’s Chat livestream hosted by @thesquatingdog , where Epic’s @HaroldAtEpic & Jon Fox will be answering your questions, and sharing more about how Discover works and how it will continue to evolve. Set a reminder: fn.gg/discover-chat

UEFN Live edit in action 🥳 this is soooo good thanks @FNCreate 💜 #UEFN #Fortnite

Hey @BeastFNCreative we’re really sorry for the confusion here. This wasn’t a test, it was an error in the Creator Portal and has been reverted. A compact download size means games remain available to as many players as possible – wherever they play. Later this year, we will add the ability to stream large assets (like textures and meshes) to UEFN, increasing what you can fit within the existing headroom.

Hey @AstralFCT, Harold here - I can understand the confusion. Previously, we tried to give as many islands 50K impressions as possible, but it wasn't guaranteed. Now, we’re taking a different approach to testing as we shared yesterday, and the amount of impressions will vary from game to game based on our established signals. Sometimes, those impressions would come all at once and could lead to even more unqualified impressions. We feel confident, and our data is showing us, that our new surfacing is allowing new islands to get more exposure than before our updates. By making this change, we’re able to surface more new islands to players. Since the recent changes to Discover, we’re seeing new islands and more developers getting more exposure and CCU than before. That may vary island to island, but is something we can confirm as a whole.
