The new update 6.01 brings new content to Fortnite on this Wednesday, October 3rd. Therefore, the servers of Fortnite: Battle Royale will be offline on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android). Maintenance will bring a new patch. When are the servers down and when will Fortnite be playable again?
New Season 6 has started in Fortnite: Battle Royale: The new Season 6 has started and brings a new Battle Pass and all sorts of crazy stuff to Fortnite. And even though the new season is not even a week old, the first update 6.01 is already here.
Even holidays don’t stop updates: Those who wanted to enjoy a round of Fortnite today, on October 3rd, in the morning will have to wait for the time being. Because Epic is deploying a new patch for Fortnite, leading to server downtime.
Fortnite servers go offline – When will they be back online?
When does the server downtime start? Around 08:30 AM German time, the player search will be disabled. At 09:00 AM, the Fortnite servers will subsequently be taken offline. This is a whole hour earlier than usual in recent months. Those who usually play in the morning should be prepared for an earlier interruption.
When will the Fortnite servers be back online? With smaller updates, the servers are already back online after a few hours. Around 11-12 AM you should be able to log back in, provided nothing serious happens.
At the start of the downtime, Epic has promised the patch notes, which MeinMMO will of course provide in a timely manner.
This is what update 6.01 brings for Fortnite: Battle Royale: Apart from a few vague statements on Reddit, there are actually no announcements for the Battle Royale mode this time. MrPopo mentions on Reddit at least that it is about slides. In addition, players are supposed to stay “frosty.”
Will the winter season kick off tomorrow? That seems illogical. After all, Halloween is still ahead of us. After the maintenance, we will know more.
What “Save the World” players can look forward to: If the current leaks are to be believed, the PvE mode of Fortnite will become richer with a new hammer. You can see what the hammer supposedly looks like in the following video:
