Fortnite has started an event that lets players directly support YouTubers and streamers.

The 'support-a-creator' event, running from this week until December 31st, will let creators earn real cash via their fans spending money on Fortnite's in-game currency, V-Bucks.

How does it work?

To participate, players need to go the item shop in battle royale mode or the loot tab in the 'save the world' area of the menu.

In there, they'll find a support a creator box. Users can then enter the Epic Tag pertaining to their chosen creator.
