What is the official editor also known as Creative 2.0?

The official editor known as Creative 2.0 is Unreal Editor for Fortnite, or UEFN.

UEFN is a Windows-based development tool that combines Unreal Engine editing features with Fortnite’s assets, systems and publishing ecosystem. Unlike the original in-game Creative tools, it gives creators a more traditional editor for building environments, importing custom assets, designing cinematics and creating more complex gameplay.

Epic publicly announced that UEFN would launch on March 22, 2023. Its feature set includes Unreal Engine 5 technology and Verse, Epic’s programming language for scripting interactions and game logic. Creators can also collaborate through live editing and publish player-made experiences inside Fortnite.

“Creative 2.0” is the community’s familiar nickname, not the editor’s official product name. The older Fortnite Creative mode is often called Creative 1.0 by comparison. Another common mix-up is treating UEFN as a separate game: it is an editor and creation platform connected to Fortnite’s broader ecosystem.
