It’s Tuesday, and we have another Fortnite downtime. This time, however, there is no big update. Epic Games will take servers down for the release of a hotfix. The good news, however, is that more content will arrive later in the day, including a new Fortnite Reload map.
Besides Fortnite servers going down for a brief period, Epic will also perform maintenance on its online services. This process begins at 5 AM UTC and will last for up to seven hours.
When will the Fortnite downtime end?
Fortnite servers will go down at 6 AM Eastern Time (10 AM UTC) on Tuesday morning. Considering that most downtimes begin two hours earlier, this one is certainly odd. What makes it even more unusual is the fact that there will be no big update during the server downtime. Instead, Epic will only deploy a hotfix.
Fortunately, the downtime will last for only an hour. Epic expects it to end at 7 AM ET (11 AM UTC), so the game will not be unavailable for too long. Unfortunately, the game developer will perform the maintenance on the Epic Online Services at the same time, and this is something that will last for approximately seven hours.
The EOS maintenance is expected to be performed between 5 AM and 12 PM UTC on Tuesday. During this process, several services may experience degradation, including session invites, lobbies, and peer-to-peer communication. It’s important to note that this maintenance will affect other games that use Epic Online Services, not just Fortnite.
While today’s downtime won’t bring new content to Fortnite, Epic will enable several new things later in the day. This includes Slurp Rush, a new Reload map, and potentially Vanguard Zadie, another free skin.
