First announced for PC in May, 2022, UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) was supposed to launch later that same year, but was delayed to January 2023 before being pushed back once again to a March 2023 window. Now that it has been released, players are using the power of the Unreal Engine 5 and the Unreal Editor itself to create lots of cool things, including some iconic places from the Grand Theft Auto series! See more below...

At this point, it's only matter of time until someone will port the entire Los Santos city to the game, using the UEFN!
