Fortnite: Creative

Fortnite Creative is a game mode for Fortnite: Battle Royale where players can control the creation of their own private islands for others to experience. All the features and tweaks players put into the island can be saved for later use. This became available to all players starting December 13th, 2018.

Battle Pass owners had access to the private island for the first week of Battle Pass Season 7. During this early access week Battle Pass owners could invite their friends to play on their island.
