Are Fortnite Servers Down Right Now?
Yes, Fortnite servers are currently down for many players across the entire globe. While Epic Games and the official Fortnite status account have not commented on this matter yet and the public status report does not reflect this issue, various gamers have reported not being able to enter Fortnite or receiving a matchmaking error upon trying to start a game.
How to Check Fortnite Server Status
Players can check the current Fortnite status on the Epic Games Public Status webpage. However, at the moment, it’s either outdated or does not reflect reality, as it says all Fortnite systems are operational and working.
