Ever wondered how you can sneak into Fortnite without your friends knowing? It’s a common question: how do you appear offline in Fortnite?

Well, whether you’re craving some solo playtime or just need a break from the constant invites, we’ve got the lowdown on making yourself invisible in Fortnite.

Quick Steps to Appear Offline

Going offline in Fortnite is simpler than you might think. First, you’ll need to open your Epic Games Launcher. Here’s where the magic starts.

Once the launcher is open, look for the ‘Friends’ icon on the bottom right. Click on it, and you’ll see a green dot next to your name that shows you’re online. Click on your name, and a dropdown menu will appear. Here, you’ll find the option to appear ‘Away’ or ‘Offline’. Select ‘Offline’, and voila! You’ve successfully turned yourself invisible to your Fortnite friends.
