Your Feedback and Bug Reports Help Shape the Future of Fortnite’s Developer Tools

Your feedback directly shapes the future of Fortnite and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), informing how we evolve our tools, features and roadmap. Today, we’re sharing how we turn your input into action using two customized flows.

We sort your input into two categories that are both handled uniquely: feedback help us improve the experience and inform our roadmap, while bug reports show us what isn’t working as expected and follow a dedicated triage process.

How We Gather and Action Feedback
Your feedback helps us improve the experience and inform our roadmap. We gather feedback from multiple sources across the community:

Input, regardless of source, is captured and recorded. We review and prioritize feedback on a regular cadence, evaluating it based on impact (for example; How significant is the change? Does it impact one developer or the broader community?) and frequency (How often do we hear this feedback? Is it a one-off or a recurring theme?). The more detail you share, including specific use cases, the more effectively we can address your concerns.

Prioritized feedback is logged directly in the same system our product and engineering teams use to plan development—your input sits alongside our internal roadmap.

We review feedback monthly with product teams to track progress on long-standing requests, surface new issues, and identify when community input has directly driven improvements (highlighted in our release notes).

By integrating your feedback directly into our planning and roadmap decisions, we are able to prioritize and build the features and tools that matters most to the community. Here are a few examples of features we’ve recently launched, thanks to your feedback.

  • New LEGO® Tools and Items
  • Custom Items in Experimental
  • Epic Developer Assistant now supports Scene Graph
  • In-Island Transactions

How We Handle Bugs

Bug reports show us what isn’t working as expected and follow a dedicated triage process. Here’s where we source the issues you’re running into:

The Epic Developer Community [Topics tagged fortnite] is the official place to report UEFN bugs. Include clear reproduction steps and attach screenshots or videos where possible. You can also upvote existing reports to help surface critical issues.

We regularly review and triage the forums to identify bugs for investigation. Our QA team then reproduces and prioritizes them by severity:

  • Critical: Blocks creation, editing, or publishing, or impacts systems like Content Service, Matchmaking, Persistence, Spawners, or new features. These get immediate attention.
  • Moderate to Minor: Issues that don’t block publishing (like slight asset misalignments) are still tracked but may take longer to resolve.

When fixes ship, we highlight them in the Community Bug Fixes section of the Fortnite Ecosystem release notes [What's New in Unreal Editor for Fortnite | Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community]. We typically feature the top four or five most-voted or high-visibility fixes in each release, so you can see your reports turning into results. The forum thread will also be updated by the automated bug reporter.

Share Your Voice
