The latest Fortnite server issues come as fans are waiting for Fortnite patch V3.3 to be released on PS4, Xbox One, PCs and Mac.
The big Fortnite update was meant to launch today but got delayed due to an “issue”.
Announcing the patch delay earlier today, the official Fortnite Twitter account posted: “We discovered an issue that will prevent us from releasing v3.3 tomorrow, March 14.
“We’re working on solving that problem now and will update you once we know more.”
It hasn’t been confirmed when the Fortnite patch will be released, but Epic Games tend to roll out big updates on Thursdays.
So, if the “issue” gets resolved soon, then Fortnite patch V3.3 could possibly launch tomorrow.
Fortnite patch V3.3 brings with it the remote explosive, the supply llamas and also puts the smoke grenade in the game vault.
Fortnite patch V.3.3 will also see the Teams of 20 limited time mode (LTM) end for Battle Royale fans.
