checked responded in 43msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Fortnite has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~47 ms. According to Fortnite's official status page, the most recent outage began 2026-08-28 13:55 UTC and lasted 37m (severity: down). It was reported as "Fortnite Login Issues on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5".

Fortnite is Epic's battle royale, and it depends on Epic Online Services for login, matchmaking, and the item shop. Because those are shared with other Epic titles, an identity incident can lock players out of Fortnite and unrelated games at once, while a matchmaking fault leaves the client running but unable to start a match.

Fortnite is also searched for as Fortnite Battle Royale.

Is Fortnite down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Fortnite normally right now, and it answered our last one in 43ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-18. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 22 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days Fortnite reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if Fortnite is down for just you

  • Check whether you can sign in to the Epic Games launcher at all, since Fortnite login runs on the same identity service as the store.
  • Look for a matchmaking-disabled notice in the client. Epic disables queues during an incident and the client keeps running normally otherwise.
  • Verify the game files through the launcher before reinstalling, because a failed patch presents as a crash on launch.
  • If the item shop is empty but matches work, that is a content service fault rather than an outage, and it resolves without any action from you.
