Fortnite: Server Down – When and how long are they offline?
This is the downtime in the morning: According to Epic Games, the servers are expected to be shut down at 10:00 AM German time. The matchmaking will already be disabled 30 minutes prior, so you will not be able to search for new rounds after 9:30 AM.
When can you play again? This is a larger update. It is therefore likely that Epic Games could bring the servers back online at 11:00 AM or even at 1:00 PM. But this is not confirmed.
When will the patch notes come? Epic Games usually releases a brief list of patch notes on their site after the update. If that happens, we will list them here in a clear and concise manner.
