Last updated
Got caught in the Fortnite downtime blues and wondering when is Fortnite downtime ending? You’re not alone! Downtime is when Epic Games takes Fortnite offline to update or fix the game. Let’s dive into what you need to know to get back into the action.
So, you’re itching to know when you can jump back into Fortnite, right? We’ve got you covered with all the details.
Short Form Answer: It Depends
The end of Fortnite downtime varies with each update. Epic Games doesn’t always give a set time for how long the game will be down. But don’t worry, they’re pretty good at keeping it as short as possible.
Generally, downtime can last anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. It often starts early in the morning (around 4 AM ET) to impact the fewest players. You can keep an eye on Fortnite’s official Twitter for real-time updates.
