Fortnite offline

Fortnite down: The servers for the Battle Royale shooter are currently offline. Today we have the update at 4 p.m. and the start of season 6. The developers use the short message service Twitter to provide further information on the downtime. The servers have been offline since 5 a.m. Since then it has not been possible to log in or join the game. How long Fortnite remains offline is not clear from the information. But because the big solo event is supposed to start around 9 a.m., it can be assumed that the maintenance work will be completed by then. The developers write that the downtime will be ended on all platforms at the same time.

However: The times of the patch rollouts on the individual platforms may vary within the downtime. In addition, Epic Games writes that the 16.00 update is definitely bigger than the previous patches. This is due to the new content that will be installed for Season 6. The specific patch notes with details on the changes and innovations are not yet available. One thing is certain: With the activation of the new season, you can play the big solo event in the Battle Royale shooter. As soon as you start Fortnite (buy now € 14.60), the action begins. Remember to adjust the audio settings for the cinematics if necessary.
