Are Fortnite Servers Down?
Yes. Fortnite’s servers are currently offline due to scheduled maintenance for the v37.51 update. Players cannot access Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, or other linked modes while the maintenance is active. Epic Games’ status page also marks the game services as “Under Maintenance” during this window.
How Long will Fortnite be Down?
Epic Games expects the downtime to last approximately 2 to 4 hours. Typical Fortnite maintenance windows vary depending on the size of the update — minor ones take around two hours, while larger patches can stretch up to three or four.
When will Fortnite Servers be Back Up?
If everything proceeds as planned, Fortnite servers should return online between 6 AM and 8 AM ET (around 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM IST) on October 22. Players are advised to check @FortniteStatus on X for real-time updates in case the maintenance extends longer than expected.
The v37.51 update focuses on bug fixes and minor content adjustments, rather than a major seasonal overhaul. Once servers are live again, players can expect smoother gameplay and possibly a few new cosmetic or weapon tweaks.
