Fortnite has released the official Creative/UEFN Patch Notes for today's v25.00 update, giving us a look at what's new.
Direct Event Binding
In the v25.00 update, direct event binding is now turned on for all islands made using the Creative toolset. For more information, see in the official documentation.
Upgraded Devices Reminder
For some time now in Creative, you have been able to manually convert your islands to upgraded devices, by going to the Tools tab of My Island and clicking the Upgrade Devices button. Starting in a future update, new Creative islands will use upgraded devices by default. These devices are the same ones used by UEFN and provide improvements over the original devices, including:
- Direct numerical input
- Color pickers
- Additional features on some devices
Welcome Hub Changes
To make sure creators have a smooth and consistent experience when entering Creative, the Welcome Hub is changing to a new Epic-created default hub starting today.
Grind Rails
from Battle Royale Chapter 4 can now be added to islands using the Creative toolset or UEFN. The spline defining the rail's path can be edited directly in UEFN, or it can be edited with the Phone tool in Creative.
Grind Rail devices in Creative are similar to AI Patrol Path devices in that they have two nodes (called Control Points for this device) when first placed, and require at least two. Use the Phone tool's Copy function to add a new Control Point to the rail, and the Cut function to move a Control Point. To safely remove one or more Control Points, use the Phone tool to select them first, then delete.
Rotating a Control Point adjusts the direction of the grind rail as it goes through that point, which creates a curve. The Tangent Intensity option can be customized for each Control Point to adjust how rounded the curve is. You can also customize the color of each rail.
New Items
- Hop Flower, added to Bouncer Gallery

- Thermal DMR
