The Epic Games downtime today (June 20, 2024) will begin shortly. This will be a minor downtime for Epic Online Services. Based on information provided by the developer on its website, this will be a regular maintenance update. Nothing new is expected to be added or removed. However, certain services, such as Sessions, Lobbies, and Custom invites, will be affected during the maintenance work.
The Epic Games downtime today (June 20, 2024) will begin at 2 am Eastern Time. The developer will take the servers offline exactly at the given time. Unlike the Fortnite downtime, there will be no grace periods. Services will shut down immediately.
That being said, this should likely not affect other systems within the Epic Games ecosystem. Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, Fall Guys, Rocket Racing, Rocket League Racing, and Rocket League Sideswipe should all be operational.
