The Fortnite downtime today (January 31, 2025) is scheduled to begin at 4 AM ET. Matchmaking will be disabled shortly before that time, and the servers will be live again by 6:30 AM ET. This downtime paves the way for v33.30, the last major update for Chapter 6 Season 1. If you want to continue playing the game to gain some XP before the servers go offline, Creative is your safest bet.
Based on the information available, this update will usher in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2. The Battle Pass Outfits for it were revealed not too long ago, along with POIs and some weapons/items that will be in the loot pool.
As for Battle Royale/Zero Build, Godzilla is leaving Fortnite and will be vaulted. The collaboration with MonsterVerse is coming to an end (for now). It was truly a larger-than-life experience for those who got to turn into the Kaiju and use its abilities.

How long will the Fortnite downtime today (January 31, 2025) last?
As per the details provided by Epic Games, the Fortnite downtime today (January 31, 2025) will last approximately two and a half hours. The servers will go offline at 4 AM ET and should return to active status by 6:30 AM ET. An official update will be provided by the developer on X and/or via a blog post when they are back online.
More information can be found on Epic Games' status website. Keep in mind that the downtime could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.
Content changes for Fortnite update v33.30
As of now, three things can be confirmed. The first is that the Fortnite x Godzilla Titan Takedown event will end once downtime begins. Everything brought by the collaboration (items/weapons) will likely be vaulted since it is all related to Godzilla. Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2 will go live once the downtime ends.
This patch will also introduce some QoL (quality-of-life) and bug fixes to LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. No new content is expected since the last major update arrived on December 9, 2024.
In an official capacity, this is everything we know. If you'd like to know more about potential content, read the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.30 update) early patch notes.
