Fortnite’s profit-sharing Support-A-Creator event is now permanent

December 3, 2018 Fortnite's Support-A-Creator event is now a permanent part of the game.

Fortnite’s Support-A-Creator program launched a few months ago to offer content creators a way to earn money from their followers’ in-game purchases. The initiative was launched as a way to thank creators “during the holiday season,” but it has now been “permanently extended.” So if you’ve got a YouTuber or streamer you want to support, you can continue doing so for the foreseeable future. If you've yet to make use of Support-A-Creator, you can simply select a creator to support via their Epic tag in the in-game item shop. While your support is pledged, a percentage of any V-Bucks you spend will go to support your creator of choice. Specifically, creators get $5 for every 10,000 V-Bucks spent by supporting players, whether that be on Fortnite skins or anything else. 10,000 V-Bucks translates to $100, so that means roughly 5% can be paid out of everything Epic earns from in-game purchases. But the percentage can actually be a bit better than that, since the promotion also applies to bonus V-Bucks you can pick up from the Battle Pass or by buying in bulk.
