Fortnite’s new age-restricted rollout has made most cosmetics unusable for creative maps designated for ages ten and up.
Forbes contributor Paul Tassi reported that this has resulted in the new system arbitrarily labeling skins and cosmetics.
“There are skins from R-rated and MA-rated movies, TV shows, or video games that are not banned because they don’t have guns or are not spooky enough,” said Tassi.
Epic Games issued a statement on social media providing more context to the content restriction and intentions to resolve the matter.
The company said, “About 7% of Fortnite outfits can only be equipped in islands rated Teen. Over the next year, we will enable most of these outfits to be compatible with all ratings by having them auto-adjust their appearance based on the island you want to play.”
