Fortnite Game Services - Down - August 17th, 3:40pm ET

Yup, it’s what you think. Fortnite is unavailable as our Backend services are struggling. We have rallied the repair team and are investigating the issue now. Follow this thread, and all social channels for updates!

UPDATE: We have fully recovered and players should now be able to logging and play! This downtime seemed to be related to Friend services, which we have tuned up and returned to a healthy state.

Thanks for your patience.
