Fortnite players are no strangers to server shutdowns, as Epic Games frequently takes them down for updates. However, a recent announcement by Epic Games has revealed that a new server downtime is on the horizon, with specific details provided about the upcoming maintenance. Players are advised to take note of the scheduled downtime to plan their gaming sessions accordingly.
The Fortnite servers are set to go down on Thursday morning, following a recent unexpected downtime that occurred on a Tuesday night. During the previous downtime, some players experienced login and matchmaking issues while others remained unaffected. In addition to Fortnite, other games such as Rocket League and Fall Guys also faced problems. The upcoming server maintenance will impact multiple games due to maintenance of Epic Online Services.
Epic Games has officially stated that the next downtime will begin on Thursday, June 20, at 2 AM Eastern Time. The maintenance of Epic Online Services is expected to last for 30 minutes, with the possibility of degraded availability for up to 3 hours. This maintenance will affect various services such as Sessions, Lobbies, Custom Invites, and Epic Games itself.
While the Fortnite servers are anticipated to be unavailable for a brief period, players may encounter issues until 6 AM Eastern Time. The maintenance of Epic Online Services will also affect other games like Rocket League, potentially leading to disrupted gameplay experiences. Although most downtimes in Fortnite bring new updates and content, the upcoming maintenance is focused on service enhancements rather than introducing new features.
It is recommended that players adjust their gaming schedules accordingly on Thursday morning, as the stability of the servers may be compromised during the maintenance window. As the popular battle royale game undergoes maintenance, players are advised to explore alternative gaming options until the servers are fully operational.
