Steps to Reproduce
- Create and publish a new Fortnite island.
- Wait for the island to appear in Discover.
- Immediately after publishing, check the island’s Discover category and ranking.
- Check the available island statistics and ranking data.
- The island is not properly referenced, and the expected ranking and statistics are unavailable.
Expected Result
The island should be correctly processed and listed in Discover after publication, with its category ranking and statistics available whenever applicable.
Observed Result
Immediately after publishing the island, I encountered the same Discover ranking issue previously experienced on another island.
The island was not properly referenced, and its ranking and statistics were unavailable.
I received no notification, moderation rejection or explanation from Epic Games. The island complies with the publishing requirements, and I have no indication of any violation.
This issue has now affected multiple islands and appears to be a recurring technical problem rather than an isolated incident.
Platform(s)

Additional Notes
This is particularly concerning because the exact same issue has already affected another one of my islands and several other Fortnite creators.
I would appreciate a technical investigation by an actual Epic Games employee, rather than an automated response.
I would also like to know why this keeps happening without any notification or explanation from Epic Games, and whether it affects the island’s actual Discover distribution.
