Early closure causes frustration for players
Fortnite players around the world are currently experiencing downtime as the popular battle royale game undergoes scheduled maintenance. The servers were expected to be back up at 1pm (UTC), but closed slightly earlier, leaving some players confused and disappointed. Many took to social media to express their frustrations, with some even suggesting that Fortnite should compensate players for the inconvenience.
Why is Fortnite down?
The maintenance is being done in preparation for the upcoming update 27.10 and the launch of Seasons 7 and 8 in Fortnite OG. The OG version of the game has been bringing back beloved features from its first-ever season, catering to its oldest fans. Unlike the contemporary version, the OG game has shorter seasons, with each segment lasting only one week. This maintenance is necessary to ensure a smooth transition and optimize gameplay for players.
Scheduled downtime during school and work hours
Fortnite often schedules maintenance during times when most of its players are likely to be at school or work. While this may be frustrating for avid players, it allows the developers to make necessary updates without disrupting gameplay during peak hours. The servers are expected to be up and running again at 1pm (UTC), so players can soon dive back into the action.
