Epic Games announces the expansion of Fortnite’s Support-A-Creator program

Fortnite, which will now look to encompass many more titles for fans to support their favorite content while adding more incentives to the list.

The company first released the Support-A-Creator program in October 2018 as a temporary event but soon became permanent on December 5. But the early success coupled with a stronger initiative to get the Epic Games Store off the ground will now see the project grow.

In a video, Epic Games revealed that the program will no longer be exclusive to Fortnite projects, meaning creators can now get supported through any other game in the Epic Games Store.

The expansions comes at the heels of the incredible reception the program got from streamer’s big and small, as it’s given many a new opportunity to not only get a small profit from their work but also grow their communities along the way.

In the announcement, it was also revealed that developers can also choose to give free games to active creators, as well as allow early game access as they see fit.

To become a part of the program, someone with at least 1,000 followers “on any major social media platform” can apply if they also agree to follow the Affiliate Agreement and the Creator Code of Conduct.

With the creators program expanded, a whole lot of channels that feature games other than Fortnite are sure to flood the sign-up page.

Once accepted, creators will be able to give their unique link to anyone. If the link is used in a purchase, creators will get a small piece of the transaction.
