The Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024) is scheduled to begin at 4 AM ET, with matchmaking being disabled at 3:30 AM ET. The downtime will end at 6:30 AM ET. This update (v31.41) is the fifth and final major update for Chapter 5 Season 4 (Absolute Doom) and will mark the countdown for the next phase of the storyline.
If you plan on staying in-game until the servers are taken offline, you should stick to playing Creative or perhaps explore new LEGO Fortnite seeds to find the perfect world.
As this phase of the timeline wraps up, it’s a great opportunity to level up fast in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. The best part is that you won't lose out on progress if you get disconnected mid-game; XP will be awarded later.

How long will the Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024) last?
As mentioned, Epic Games has announced that the Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024) will last two and a half hours, from 4 AM to 6:30 AM ET. Since this update will not usher in new content per se, it could even wrap up faster than the aforementioned timeline.
Content changes for Fortnite update v31.41
As per the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 (v31.41 update) early patch notes, there's not much to expect. The only two things that are noteworthy are a countdown timer for the upcoming live event and the possibility of a new Reload map.
Even so, there is no telling what the map will look like until it is decrypted. It should be a map from Chapter 2, given that the next season will take players back to that timeline. However, Epic Games could also 'remix' things to create something new.
Coming to bug fixes, there are numerous issues reported, based on Epic Games' Trello Board, none of them will be addressed once Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024) ends. With the new season soon to begin, most bug fixes will be rolled out at the start of the next phase of the storyline.
To summarize the Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024)
The Fortnite downtime today (October 25, 2024) will last for two and a half hours from 4 AM to 6:30 AM Eastern Time. Once it ends, a countdown timer is expected to be added to the island and a new map could be introduced for Fortnite Reload.
