Fortnite waiting in queue error: Battle Royale down for PS4 and Xbox One

Fortnite Waiting in queue errors have been hitting players tonight, affecting Battle Royale fans trying to join games.

The issues were first spotted around an hour ago, with developers Epic Games confirming issues with the game servers tonight.

“Why can’t I log into Fortnite? We’ll let you know soon, the team is investigating now,” the Fortnite Twitter account confirmed. 

“For the time being we have enabled a waiting room as we work through the issue.”

Players are reporting that the Waiting in queue message has been enabled for the past hour, with no update on when the problems might be over.

One fan confirmed: “Servers down for me and when I tried to reset my password (could be me who forgotten which I used…) it said “Sorry, you are visiting our service too frequent, please try again later.” Anyone else having this issue?”

MFL…

Another added: “Mine says “Matchmaking service error” does somebody knows why?”

A new update on the situation surrounding Fortnite servers is expected soon.

Fortnite Battle Royale players will soon be able to take part in the Sneaky Silencer Limited Time Mode on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Epic Games revealed the big Fortnite Battle Royale update at the start of 2018 on New Year’s Day.

It introduced the new Silenced Pistol weapon to Fortnite Battle Royale servers on Tuesday.

And the weapon will play a major part in the new mode heading to Fortnite Battle Royale tomorrow (Friday January 5 2018).

Epic Games went into more detail about Fortnite Battle Royale’s new weapon and mode in a blog post.

They said the silenced pistol weapon can be found as an Epic and Legendary rarity.

It can also be found in treasure chests, supply drops or as floor loot.

The official post also gave details about the Sneaky Silencer Limited Time Mode, which will run from January 5 to January 8.
