Check Fortnite server status

The Fortnite servers are regularly shut down for maintenance work when new updates or chapters are pending. So first make sure that a new chapter isn't starting or a big patch is going live before you get unnecessarily upset...

If there is no scheduled maintenance work going on and you still can't log in, there are a few ways to check the Fortnite server status. The two official ways are to visit the official Epic Games page , which displays the current status of the game. Here you can see whether there are problems with the servers and also get information about the progress of fixing the problems.

The second official route is the Fortnite Status Twitter account , which also reports on problems and how to fix them. Planned maintenance work is also announced here.

If you can't find anything here, you can also take a look at Alletreib.de . If you see an increase in outages in your region, you can be sure that you are not the only one who cannot log into the game right now.
