What to Do If Fortnite Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing Fortnite, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming Fortnite is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not Fortnite.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent Fortnite from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If Fortnite does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing Fortnite from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to Fortnite. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If Fortnite is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if Fortnite works for others but not for you.

6

Check for scheduled maintenance

Gaming services like Fortnite frequently perform scheduled maintenance, often during off-peak hours (usually Tuesday mornings or late nights). Check Fortnite's official social media accounts or community forums for maintenance announcements before troubleshooting further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fortnite down right now?
This page shows the real-time status of Fortnite based on automated monitoring by Qodex. The status badge at the top of the page updates every 60 seconds. If Fortnite is experiencing issues, you will see a "Down" or "Degraded" indicator along with details about when the problem was first detected.
Why is Fortnite not working?
There are several reasons Fortnite might not be working for you: (1) Fortnite could be experiencing a server-side outage affecting all users; (2) your internet connection may be down or unstable; (3) your DNS cache may be stale; (4) a regional network issue could be affecting your connection to Fortnite's servers; or (5) Fortnite may be performing scheduled maintenance. Check the uptime chart above to see if our monitors are also detecting issues.
How long do Fortnite outages usually last?
Most Fortnite outages are resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Major outages affecting all users are typically addressed as a top priority by Fortnite's engineering team. Minor or regional outages may take longer to resolve. You can monitor the situation in real time on this page, which updates automatically.
Where can I report a Fortnite outage?
You can report issues with Fortnite through their official status page or support channels at https://fortnite.com. You can also check social media platforms like Twitter/X for reports from other users. This Qodex monitoring page provides an independent, automated check of Fortnite's availability.
Is Fortnite down just for me?
If this page shows Fortnite as "Operational" but you cannot access it, the issue is likely on your end. Try these steps: clear your browser cache, try a different browser or device, restart your router, try using a VPN, or check if your ISP is experiencing issues. If our monitors also show problems, it is a widespread issue.
