Fortnite Creative v23.40 Patch Notes 

A new season of Fortnite means a few things; new skins, weapons, maybe a new map and most importantly here some new features for Fortnite Creative. Fortnite Creative, if you’re unaware, allows the player to build their own islands and game modes using the tools provided for us.

With Fortnite Creative the only real limitations are your imagination, and with new features being added all the time, there is plenty of potential to create something great. So let’s take a look at the patch notes and what else we can expect in Fortnite Creative.

Fortnite Creative v23.40 Patch Notes: Upgraded Devices

Epic will introduce a usability improvement for islands converted to upgrade devices. “If your island has a large amount of devices, it’s now easier to update the name of a device.

In addition to clicking the gear icon to change the name, you can now click the device name at the top of the Customise panel and type in the new name directly. On a console, you can use the left trigger to focus on the name and change it.”
