Things are about to get even more chaotic in Epic’s battle royale game, with developers finally being able to publish islands with Fortnite general physics.

Epic originally released the feature earlier this year on Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN), but developers couldn’t publish islands that use it until now. As part of the 37.30 Fortnite Ecosystem Update, Epic is enabling the publishing of physics-enabled islands through the beta.
