For the new update 5.0, the servers of Fortnite: Battle Royale will be offline on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS). Maintenance will bring a new patch. When will the servers be offline and when will Fortnite be playable again?
It’s finally here: Season 5 starts! After all the riddles, speculation, and the llamas placed at Kölner Neumarkt, players will finally learn what the new Season 5 is about. A new Battle Pass is likely to be included again, packed with skins, gliders, and emotes. However, you’ll have to endure a maintenance first!
The first new images of the skins are now available:

When does the server downtime start? Around 9:30 AM German time, player search will be disabled. At 10:00 AM, the Fortnite servers will be shut down.
When will the Fortnite servers be back online? For smaller updates, the servers are usually back online after just a few hours. For a “major release” like what we are experiencing now, the downtime can indeed be longer.
