Fortnite Removed ~45,000 Islands in a recent Ban Wave
• These were duplicate/spam & scam islands
• 707 accounts belonging to spammers banned
• Alt accounts used to dodge bans are now better detected
• 81K+ spam islands have been removed since March
Epic says enforcement keeps improving as spammers find new methods
BIG FORTNITE DISCOVER REDESIGN @ OCT 15
• New carousel at the top with autoplay videos
• New Top 10 row with bigger portrait tiles
• Thumbnails that break rules will now rank lower
• Tiles now show the island's like % + New/Updated tags
• Island logos are now a separate layer on the art
• Epic's Picks tiles play a short muted trailer clip when you hover them
• Island pages can now have a gameplay video, and most rows send you there before the lobby
• It's a phased rollout, so not everyone gets it day 1
Islands without the new art & videos won't show up in the carousel, Top 10 or Epic's Picks
