How long is Fortnite’s downtime today?
The Fortnite servers are offline and not working, and there is no clear timeline for when they’ll be back up. Epic Games has released several updates acknowledging ongoing issues and confirming they are actively working on a fix.
The problems, which began on March 28, have affected players’ ability to log in, access matchmaking, and select game modes from the lobby menu.
In their latest update on March 29, the Fortnite Status account on Twitter/X stated: “We are aware of an issue where players cannot log in, matchmake, or select a game in the Discover Lobby. We are actively investigating it and will update this thread once we have more info.”
How to check Fortnite server status
To see if the game’s servers are down or offline outside of this page, you’ll need to visit the Fortnite server status page on Epic Games’ official website.
If servers are not responding or are labeled “Under Maintenance,” players may experience disruptions. A green “Operational” label means the game is running normally.
When an issue is flagged, or downtime begins, it will be noted and highlighted. You can click on the plus symbol next to ‘Fortnite’ if you want more information about any specific service like parties, voice chat, stats, and more.
