Fortnite: Server Down – When and how long is it offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: The servers are expected to be taken down at 10:00 AM German time to install update 21.51. Matchmaking will already be disabled 30 minutes prior, meaning you won’t be able to search for new rounds after 9:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers are usually offline for several hours during such maintenance work, making it impossible to play. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by updates in recent weeks.
