When will the Fortnite servers be back up?

During major seasonal changes, there might be some fluctuations, but generally, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the servers will be offline for approximately 4 to 5 hours before the new season is ready for play. This suggests that the servers should be operational again by around 6am Eastern Standard Time.

In case of issues at Epic’s end, the outage could potentially last longer than anticipated, with some instances stretching up to 24 hours. Rest assured, we’ll inform you promptly if there are any changes in the estimated duration. So, don’t forget to check back frequently for updates.
