Fortnite down: How long will battle royale game be down for V25.30 - what to expect

Epic Games have taken down the Fortnite servers ahead of the latest V25.30 update. The popular online battle royal game will see a collaboration with manga series Jujutsu Kaisen, with a trailer teasing the update released last week.

Today’s update will come with a short server downtime before players are able to get back into their games by the early afternoon. The update will include plenty of new skins and a new event pass, which will bring some new content for players during the summer holidays.

Fortnite Status, the Twitter account that shares service updates for the game, has revealed that servers were closed at 9am and that matchmaking services have been disabled. The Twitter account also shared that they will inform players once downtime has ended.

Downtime for the game usually lasts around four hours so users can expect to get back into the game. Players can expect that Fortnite will be back online by around 1pm, however, due to being a minor update, the game could potentially be back online before 11am, so it’s worth checking the Fortnite Status Twitter account, which will give gamers the most accurate information.
