Epic has announced new parental controls for Fortnite that allow parents to control the amount of time their kids spend playing Fortnite, as well as using the game's creative editor UEFN.
In an announcement on its official website, Epic reveals two new parental control initiatives: Time Limit Controls and Time Reports. They do pretty much exactly what you'd imagine based on the names.
Time Limit Controls allow parents to limit the time their child spends playing Fortnite or using UEFN each day, as well as allocating specific windows of time for play. Kids can then request more time, which parents can allow or deny as they see fit.
