If you’re looking to get your Fortnite fix this morning, you’re out of luck. Developer Epic Games took the popular shooter game offline late Wednesday night and servers are still struggling to come back up.
Epic Games announced the game was inaccessible due to emergency maintenance.
“Login is currently blocked across all Epic endpoints, including games, websites, and the Epic Games Launcher,” the company wrote on its status page. “This is due to a database failure which we are working to resolve as quickly as possible. In a measure towards resolution, matchmaking will be blocked for a short period. Thank you for your patience!”
The company posted updates on the status page through the night, but as of 9:30am, the company was “working on the database upgrade process, and remain in downtime.”
We're bringing the servers offline for emergency maintenance. We apologize for this inconvenience. We currently have no ETA on when servers will be back up. Stay updated with our status page here: https://t.co/3y0X6buriO
