Fortnite server status latest: How long is Fortnite offline? When will it be online?

Fortnite Battle Royale is offline for server maintenance, as Epic Games releases a new update.

The Fortnite 6.01 update was initially expected to go live on October 2.

However, Epic would end up delaying the update until October 3, alongside a few hours of server downtime.

Fortnite Battle Royale server status may not make good reading for fans right now, but Epic has at least released a new list of patch notes.

“Downtime for patch v6.01 has begun. Chill out with the Patch Notes while you wait to glide back in!” reads an Epic tweet.

If you can’t wait to stuck into Fortnite Battle Royale, expect the game to come back online by 10am UK time.
