Is Fortnite down on PS5? PSN server outage is still live

Fortnite is currently down on PS5 and PS4. Due to the PSN server outage that hit on the Friday night, players on the Sony console are unable to access the game. Epic Games Server Status (February 8, 2025) shows green all across the board, but the PSN issue is still not fixed. Despite everything else working as normal, players on both the consoles would not be able to get into the game until the server is fixed.

That said, no official update has been provided on Epic Games Server Status, as the problem does not originate from there. The PSN (PlayStation Network) has come to a standstill, due to which players on PlayStation have been unable to access the game or purchase the newly released Jujutsu Kaisen cosmetics.

When could Fortnite come back online for PlayStation players?

At the moment, there is no update from Epic Games, as they cannot provide a fix for this issue. With the PlayStation Network hit by a global outage, disrupting millions of players, it would appear that the issue at hand is major. As such, Sony hasn't provided a timeline for a fix. Until an update comes out, Fortnite users on PS5 will remain locked out of the game.

Given that Chapter 6 Season 2 is coming to an end, players are missing out on a lot of XP in the final days of this phase of the timeline. However, as mentioned, since this is beyond Epic Games' purview, there is nothing they can do.

An update for Epic Games Server Status for PS5 Fortnite players could be shared in the coming hours, but for the time being, there has been nothing from the developer. In all probability, until the issue is rectified by Sony, there's nothing more that can be done by Epic Games.
