  1. Alert if your payment is confirmed later

    • NewIf your payment (featuring, AI credits, cursors) takes a while to confirm, an alert lets you know as soon as the outcome is known: credited, featuring applied, or declined.
  2. Shop reorganized into category lists

    • ImprovedThe Shop no longer has two « Rewards »/« Purchases » tabs: « All », « AI Credits », « Featuring » and « Cursors » tabs filter the categories, and each one has its own Points/Purchase switch to choose how to get it.
  3. The site is now available in English

    • NewThe site now shows automatically in French or English based on your browser's language. A globe button in the header lets you change it anytime, and your choice is remembered on this device.
    • NewThe privacy policy, terms of use and account deletion page are now also available in English (the French version remains the reference).
  4. Tags are visible again

    • FixedSome older tags had disappeared from the "Tags" page and from suggestions: this is fixed, they're back.
  5. Language switching fixed on some pages

    • FixedSwitching from French to English (or back) from some pages, like the dashboard, could lead to an error: this is fixed.
  6. 11 badges to unlock, with real illustrations

    • New4 new badges (Veteran, Marathon, Super Referrer, Shopper) join the existing 7 in the "Rewards" tab.
    • ImprovedEach badge now has its own illustration, instead of a generic icon.
    • ImprovedUnlocking a badge now earns a small bonus of points and XP.
  7. Referrals: no more limit on rewarded friends

    • ImprovedThere's no longer a limit on how many friends your referral link can earn you: you're rewarded every time one of your referrals gets their first map approved.
  8. Rank fixed in a few places

    • FixedThe rank shown next to your username (account menu, profile, team) could get stuck on "Bronze" even though your real rank was higher: this is fixed.
  9. New tool: UEFN Tools

    • NewA new "UEFN Tools" tool, available to any signed-in account, generates a thumbnail for your island using AI, with an image search to better reproduce a named skin. Credits purchasable in the Shop are needed to generate a thumbnail.
    • ImprovedThe "Dashboard" button in the header is replaced by "UEFN Tools"; the dashboard is still reachable from your account menu.
  10. 4 new themed cursors

    • NewAlongside the sniper bullet, 4 themed cursors (pickaxe, battle bus, loot llama, victory crown) are now available in the Shop: 150 points each, or the pack of 4 for €2.99. Pick them afterwards in your profile.
  11. Featuring is now reserved for claimed creators

    • ImprovedOnly maps whose creator name you've claimed can now be featured (in the Shop, the Campaign tab, or elsewhere): having only submitted a map isn't enough anymore.
  12. A more discreet feature badge, and a new "Campaign" tab

    • ImprovedThe "Featured" label on thumbnails is replaced by a small logo, less intrusive.
    • ImprovedThe "Featured" section is gone: featured maps now show up directly at the top of the feed (shuffled if there are several), and no longer appear a second time further down.
    • NewNew "Campaign" tab in the dashboard: your running and past features, with the views, likes and favorites they gained, and a button to start a new one (points, podium days, or purchase) without going through the Shop.
    • ImprovedThe map picker for featuring now shows its thumbnail, not just its title.
  13. News for featured maps

    • NewFeatured maps now rise to the top of the feed, including when filtering by genre or tag; when there are several, the order changes on every visit.
    • NewThe dashboard now shows, for a featured map, the time left and the views, likes and favorites gained since the feature started.
    • NewThe dashboard also counts clicks on "Copy code" and "Play now", for all your maps.
    • NewAn alert (and a notification if you've turned them on) now lets you know when one of your maps' feature ends.
  14. Paid featuring is now available

    • NewYou can now pay to feature one of your maps, for 1, 3 or 7 days (starting at €1.99), in addition to the free ways already offered. Secure payment by card.
    • NewA "Terms of Sale" page is available from the footer.
  15. A new "Legal Notice" page

    • NewA "Legal Notice" page (publisher identity, hosting, contact) is now available from the footer.
  16. More reliable view count

    • ImprovedThe view count shown on maps is now more representative of actual traffic.
  17. Header fixed on small screens

    • FixedOn the narrowest phones, the buttons at the top of the page (language, alerts, account) sometimes overlapped the site name instead of cleanly wrapping to their own line.
  18. Usernames, favorites, alerts and creator stats

    • NewChoose your username and avatar: that's what others see, never your real name.
    • NewFavorites: set maps aside with the ☆ button and find them in « My favorites ».
    • New« Play now » button next to the title: it opens Fortnite straight into the map.
    • NewAlerts (bell at the top of the page): your maps' activity, a new team member, a claim code about to expire.
    • NewCreators: Epic stats on your maps' pages (sessions, players, minutes played, retention…) with 7-, 30- and 90-day charts.
    • NewCreators: a sortable table of your maps by views, likes, favorites, Epic sessions and status, with thumbnails.
    • NewCreators: edit the title, genre, tags, description and thumbnail of your claimed maps.
    • ImprovedAfter submitting a map: you see the points and XP earned (or what you'll earn once it's approved), how many maps can still reward you today, and a button to submit another map.
    • ImprovedRedesigned header: pill-shaped buttons animated on hover, the active page highlighted, the « Submit a map » button featured, and a new « Shop » button.
    • NewNouvelle page Boutique, avec deux onglets : « Récompenses » pour échanger vos points (400 points le jour, 3 jours par mois au plus) contre une mise en avant de l'une de vos maps, et utiliser vos jours gagnés au podium ; « Achats » pour les achats en argent, qui arrivent bientôt.
    • NewFeatured: featured maps appear at the top of the gallery, with a badge.
    • NewYour rank (Bronze to Legend) shows next to your username, in your account menu and in your team.
    • NewReferrals: share your code or link from the « Rewards » tab. When a friend gets their first map approved, you earn points and XP, and they get welcome points. Were you invited? Enter their code in the same tab.
    • NewLogin streak: a little XP each day you open the site signed in, plus bonuses at 7 and 30 days in a row. Your streak shows in the « Rewards » tab, with the « Regular » and « Loyal » badges.
    • NewLeaderboards: this month's leaderboard, the all-time leaderboard and a hall of fame with the top 10 of each month. The top 10 get the « Top contributor » title and the podium earns featured days. You can choose not to appear there, from the « Rewards » tab.
    • NewRewards: earn points and XP when one of your maps is approved or when you verify a creator name. Track your rank (from Bronze to Legend), your badges and your history in the new « Rewards » tab of the dashboard.
    • NewClickable tags: clicking a tag opens the list of every map that has it. A « Tags » page gathers every tag used by the community.
    • ImprovedThe tag filter and the submission and edit forms suggest tags that already exist, to avoid duplicates.
    • ImprovedNew thumbnails are lighter, with the same on-screen quality: pages load faster.
    • NewTeam: see the people who've claimed the same creator name as you.
    • NewDashboard adapted to how you use the site: a player finds their favorites and liked maps (with popular map ideas to start with), a creator their maps and stats. You can change this choice anytime in your profile.
    • NewSite news: a notification in the bell lets you know, at most once a day, when the updates page has changed.
    • New« Sniper bullet » cursor with a fire trail (on desktop): you can switch back to the normal mouse anytime, from your profile or your account menu.
    • ImprovedThe top bar stays visible as you scroll the page.

    • ImprovedA map's page has been reorganized: Epic stats (creators) sit between the map code and the claim section.
