When are Fortnite servers coming back up: Server downtime and live event details

Fortnite’s servers have been down for a while now, and fans are wondering when they’ll finally be able to indulge in Chapter 2 Season 6.

Considering Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 will be kicking off with a cinematic story of the Zero Point Crisis, Epic Games has already revealed the time remaining before the new season begins. Additionally, this update was scheduled a bit earlier than previous seasonal updates.

Although the v16.00 update is already available for multiple players to download, they cannot access Fortnite until and unless the server downtime ends. The server downtime is scheduled to end at 4 AM Eastern Time or 1 AM Pacific Time.

This means that gamers have less than an hour to go before Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 begins with the Zero Point Crisis cinematic story.

Epic Games has also confirmed that the upcoming season's theme will be revealed during the solo-player experience that will follow the Zero Point Crisis cinematic.

“So excited for S6 tomorrow! Been working on this next moment of Fortnite for a longgg time. It’s best without spoilers! Don’t look at stuff until you can experience yourself. It’s worth it.”
