When will the Fortnite Chapter 7 servers be back online?

Epic Games shut down the servers immediately after the final event concluded. While scheduled maintenance typically occurs at specific times, this time it opted for an immediate downtime. According to the in-game countdown timer, the access issue is expected to last approximately seven hours.

The server shutdown sparked a flood of complaints on social media. The event was followed simultaneously by over 10 million players, creating a significant bottleneck. While many players reported experiencing connection drops during the event, Epic Games emphasized that it has implemented additional measures to ensure a smooth transition.

The maintenance period, which falls in the evening in the US and midnight in Europe, may alleviate some of the congestion. The company aims to prevent congestion when the servers return.
