    The servers go down just for a patch update, this has never happened before just fo a simple update.

  • Mark

    Fortnite maintenance is underway I think because on Twitter they are saying this, “Matchmaking for BR is now offline. V.1.10 is releasing in just a short time and there will be some downtime. Timers for Llamas will also be reset.”

  • Lisa

    Yeah Fortnite is down for server maintenance, the downtime is basically for the V.1.10 patch.

  • Josiah

    everytime I try joining a match it loads forever and then says network connection lost and I checked my internet it its comes up as successful but it doesn’t in fortnite, someone please help?

  • Larry

    How long is Fortnite servers going to be down for? Still down for me and no idea why as I thought they were back up for most….

  • Paul

    This is getting so annoying now, there is always maintenance happening. They say the servers are online and to check out the new 5.1 patch notes but whats the point.

  • Vincent Drake

    one thing i have noticed between all games that i have played throughout the years, starting with Everquest when I joined in on that game. When servers are down for maintenance, there is always a ton of complaining that the game isn’t running. Whoa is me!!!!! Take it as a good thing that maintenance is being down to a game. For one, it means that there is still a game to play that has a base to try to keep things going for us players. Secondly, this game isn’t as of yet fully released. We are not playing a game that is a full release, so there are going to be constant maintenance issues, bugs, things that need to be worked on and even when it is to that point where the game is release to the full public as Free to play or however it is designed to be, there will be upkeep to be had. So all of you that constantly complain that a game is down for maintenance, get a life, actually read a book, watch a show, go outside and enjoy the atmosphere or something. Relax, it is only a game.

  • Mark

    Fortnite servers are not responding due to the v8.20 update, basically they are under maintenance, what would be good is if they brought back Thanos mode.

  • Belinda

    Fortnite servers are down, not able to play it. So the official Fortnite Twitter says, “iOS is currently still in certification with Apple and may not be available until after downtime is completed. We will update you as soon as possible..” Surely it’s time to REVERT.

  • Klass

    So being an iOS player I am STILL waiting to login because Fortnite staff were doing a client update for patch v8.50 that should have become available on the App Store by now, if it is showing for others it isn’t for me,
