Creating a New Island

To begin, you’ll need to create a new island where you can build your music-playing contraption. Here’s how:

1. Launch Fortnite and select the “Creative” mode.

2. In the Creative Hub, click on the “My Islands” tab and then select “Create New Island.”

3. Give your island a name and then select the island type. For this purpose, we recommend choosing the “Empty Island” option.

4. Click on the “Create Island” button and wait for your island to load.

5. Once your island has loaded, you’re ready to start building your music-playing device!

The first step to playing your own tunes in Fortnite is setting up your Radio Device. Here’s how to do it:

Place the Radio Device: Open your Creative Inventory and search for the “Radio Device.” Drag and drop it into your map.
