How to use Fortnite island codes on any device
A Fortnite island code is twelve digits in three groups, like 1234-5678-9012. Type it into Discover and the island opens, on any device that runs Fortnite.
Enter a code in four steps
- Open Fortnite and go to Discover, the screen where you pick a mode.
- Select the search box at the top. On a controller, it's the magnifying glass.
- Type the code, with or without the dashes, and confirm.
- Select the island, then Play. You'll load into its lobby.
On each device
- PS5 and PS4: the on-screen keyboard has a number row, or pair a USB keyboard to type faster.
- Xbox: the same search box works, and a USB keyboard works there too.
- Switch: use the touch screen in handheld mode to type faster.
- PC: paste the code with Ctrl+V. Our island codes page has copy buttons.
- Mobile: tap the search box and paste the code from your clipboard.
Why a code doesn't work
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Island not found | Check every digit. A 6 and an 8 are easy to mix up |
| Island unavailable | The creator may have taken it down, or it's being updated |
| Age-rated | Your account's parental controls may block islands above a set rating |
| Wrong version | A creator can republish under a new code. Search the island's name |
What a good island looks like
Popular islands show a player count on their tile. A high number usually means it's working and the queue will be short. Check the island's rating and description too. If an island's description promises free V-Bucks or skins, skip it: islands can't hand those out, and the promise is a trick to get clicks or an account.
Can you share codes with friends?
Yes. A code works for anyone. To play together, party up first, then have the party leader start the island. Some islands cap the party size, so check the tile before you invite everyone.
Where codes come from
Each island gets its code when a creator publishes it. That's why codes are permanent for a published version but can change if the creator republishes. We check the codes on our page against live player counts and other code lists, and we date each check.
