Fortnites Status twitter account has acknowledged Thursday’s outage, tweeting: ‘We are investigating the login issues to the game.

‘We will update you when the issues are resolved.’

Fortnite is a survival game where 100 players fight against each other in player versus player combat to be the last one standing.  

First released in 2017 by Epic Games, it’s become something of a cultural phenomenon for its bright colors, its infectious dance emotes and its use of in-game currency. 

And Epic Games reported it had more than 80.4 million Fortnite monthly active users as of September 2021.
