Fortnite won’t update on PS5 and PS4 for some players. Despite the Fortnite downtime (May 24, 2024) for Chapter 5 Season 3 (v30.00) ending, the game refuses to update and launch for some users. The good news is that Epic Games is aware of the issue at hand and has taken to social media to address it.
This is what the developers had to say:
"We're aware that players may currently be having some trouble logging into Fortnite on PS4 and PS5."
Given the latest update for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is the only thing that has changed in the last few hours, that is most likely the cause of the issue. Here's more on why Fortnite won’t update on PS5.

Note: These workarounds may not yield results for all users.
1) Epic Games' official workaround
Epic Games took to Twitter to mention an official workaround method. It has advised players to restart their Fortnite game client if they get stuck while trying to log in. Keep in mind that this may not work for all players, but it's worth a try. You could also try to restart your PS5 and PS4.
2) Uninstall the game and do a fresh installation
If the official workaround method yields no results, the next best thing would be to uninstall the game and do a fresh installation. Given that seasonal updates are major, perhaps a technical issue has occurred on the server.

3) Wait for an official fix from Epic Games
If none of the abovementioned workarounds fix the Fortnite won’t update on PS5 issue, consider waiting for an official fix. As Epic Games mentioned, a proper fix may be needed to solve the issue at hand. For those with the workaround, it will be best to patiently wait for updates on social media.
