Unable to Change Island Genre in Creator Portal

Fortnite islands have a 30-day cooldown between genre changes. If your cooldown is active, you can use a one-time override to remove it — or wait for the 30 days to pass.

Use your one-time override to remove the cooldown

Each island includes a one-time override that removes the active 30-day genre change cooldown. To use it:

  1. Sign in to Creator Portal (Opens in a new tab).

  2. Select your island from the My Islands list.

  3. Select Game Details.

  4. Select Skip the wait.

  5. Confirm that you want to use your one-time genre change override for this island.

  6. Select the Genre field and choose your new genre.

  7. Continue through the publishing flow.

Using your one-time override removes the current cooldown only. After changing your genre, the 30-day cooldown applies again for all future genre changes.
