AFK, XP, Coin farm, Coin slide and Fortnite coin images will be removed from Creative

Starting February 4, 2025, terms like AFK, XP, coin farm, coin roll, and Fortnite coin images will no longer be shown or allowed to be used in Creative mode. Epic Games posted on their official X account, stating that any misleading content will result in “escalating penalties.” Here’s what they said:

“Coins and terms like “AFK” and “XP” are used in island thumbnails, names, and other metadata to mislead players into thinking they can earn or unlock an impossibly large amount of XP. Spoiler: they can’t.”

Given that XP maps have received a lot of attention from the community over the years, this move will ensure that Creators cannot “lure” users into thinking that their maps provide more XP than others. Here is more information on the topic.

Fortnite Creator Environment Will Be Getting Changes to Minimize XP Scams

Any image containing the above mentioned words such as “AFK” and “XP” and/or suggestive material regarding the same will be removed. This is being done to help players make more informed choices when choosing islands to try out in Creative mode. Thumbnails and images, as well as island names containing the same, will be removed. Epic Games also said:

“We will be removing this content from our ecosystem and creators will face escalating penalties – including impact to monetization, removal of islands, and account suspensions.”

According to the official announcement, creators who fail to make the changes will be punished. Depending on the severity of the situation, their accounts may also be suspended. Considering that Fortnite Creative accounted for 36,5% of users' total play time in 2024 and Epic Games paid out $352 million to creators, this move makes a lot of sense.

Ensuring high quality islands and content in Creative mode will be a top priority for Epic Games given the growth we have seen year on year. We can expect stricter rules and regulations to be implemented over time.
