In Fortnite the servers will be shut down today, on 9.5., on all platforms (PC, MAC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, and Android) so that the new Season 9 can be activated. When does the downtime start and when will the Fortnite servers be back online?
What is happening today in Fortnite? Weekly maintenance occurs in Fortnite to allow developers to activate new updates for the game. During this time, the servers will be unavailable to you; you will have to take a break.
Today, the maintenance is likely to take a bit longer since Fortnite is now starting its 9th Season. This brings many changes.
When and how long will the Fortnite servers be offline?
When will the servers be down? Around 9:30 AM, you will no longer be able to join new lobbies. Fortnite sets this buffer before the server goes down so that you are not kicked out of ongoing matches during the shutdown.
The actual server downtime will start today at 10:00 AM German time. Then Fortnite will no longer be accessible to you.
When will Fortnite be back online today? The servers of Fortnite are now accessible again.
What’s new in Season 9 of Fortnite
Update: Fortnite has now officially introduced Season 9. Here are the first insights:
- The Season 9 Battle Pass trailer
- The patch notes for Update 9.0 in Fortnite with a new weapon
- The trailer for Season 9 featuring a crazy time travel
- All challenges from Week 1 in Season 9
- All skins, items, and emotes in the new Battle Pass
These contents were expected: In recent days, Fortnite has already posted some teaser images to prepare players for the new season. The theme of these teasers is “Future.”
Therefore, a futuristic theme was expected for Season 9 of Fortnite. Fortnite has now fulfilled this by renaming Tilted Towers to Neo Tilted. It is now very colorful there.
With teasers, players were already tuned into the bright theme before the season started.
