Now that you’re here, you’re probably wondering why the servers are down for Fortnite Chapter Five, Season Three. Don’t worry, you’re not the only player experiencing this issue. Here’s why.
With season three coming up, Epic Games is preparing Fortnite’s backend for the update, hence the downtime. At this point, you should be able to download the season three update, but the server is still undergoing maintenance, so you won’t be able to access the servers or play the game.
Please be patient, as there is nothing you can do to 'fix' a server outage. Sometimes the outage can last longer than normal.
