Since around 7:00 PM EST, Fortnite players have encountered issues with matchmaking and logging into the game. The official Fortnite support team has acknowledged these problems and is currently investigating the situation. Unfortunately, there’s no clear timeline for when these setbacks will be resolved.
The game recently launched Chapter 6 Season 3, introducing an exciting superhero theme, complete with characters like Superman and Robin as part of the new battle pass. Additionally, Hero Items have made their debut, allowing players to harness special abilities during gameplay. The fresh content has drawn many players back to Fortnite, yet current technical difficulties are hindering their experience.
On June 13, reports of server issues surged, causing players to struggle with access. Fortnite Status confirmed on social media that there were login and matchmaking complications affecting numerous players. An update from the Epic Games status page indicated that the issues have been identified, and a fix is in progress; however, the estimated completion time remains uncertain.
At present, the Epic Games status page indicates a “Major Outage,” which affects several game features, including login, voice chat, and the item shop. This disruption is particularly frustrating for players eager to enjoy the game with friends, especially at the beginning of the weekend. It is hoped that Epic Games will swiftly address these issues, allowing players to dive back into the action of Chapter 6 Season 3.
In the meantime, players are encouraged to monitor Fortnite Status for timely updates. Fortnite offers the chance to create, play, and engage in battles with friends for free, whether in Battle Royale, Zero Build, or through a wide array of creator-made games. Enjoy dynamic and varied gameplay experiences while teaming up or going solo to achieve your victory.
