is down with Battle Royale fans on PS4, Xbox One and PCs all hit by login issues.

Epic Games revealed the news as gamers on the PS4 have seen the PSN network go down in a major outage.

The PSN down issues began around 5pm UK time and has seen all features of the PlayStation Network unavailable.

The official Fortnite Twitter account revealed the login issues that are hitting fans today.

The latest issues comes after Fortnite was hit by a major server outage yesterday which caused servers to be offline for 14 hours.

Fortnite originally went down to prepare for the rollout patch V.2.3.0 which brought with it bug fixes, Battle Royale changes and finished up a event.

However, the Fortnite server downtime, which started around 9am, went on for much longer than anticipated.

Epic Games said during the downtime the Fortnite database ended up going into a “bad state”.

They took the decision to restore it from backup, but the first attempt failed – so they had to try and do it a second time.

At around 11pm GMT on Thursday, Fortnite finally came back online – much to the delight of Battle Royale fans.

When Fortnite went down, Epic Games published a detailed post explaining why it was offline for so long.

In a forum post they revealed: “During our downtime to upgrade to 2.3, we were performing recommended tasks to resolve a lingering database issue.

“Those tasks ended up causing the database to go into a bad state.

“After significant consideration, we decided our best option was to restore from a backup at the moment we took the servers down for the patch.

“Our first restore failed (due to issues unrelated with the quality of the backup) and we’re working on a second attempt at the restore.”
