"Is Fortnite down today (March 29, 2025)?" This is a question on everyone's mind at the moment, and the answer is a resounding yes. The Discovery Tab in the title is currently missing. For this reason, you cannot select any of the game modes. This is why the player count has hit 0 for the first time in history.
Here's what Epic Games had to say about the Fortnite down today (March 29, 2025) issue:
"We’re working to fix an issue where players are unable to matchmake or select games in the lobby. We’ll provide an update once this has been resolved."
By the looks of things, and given the severity of the situation, the game will be unplayable for quite some time. You can boot into it and check out the Fortnite Item Shop, but other than that, there's not much else to do.

Has Epic Games confirmed when the Fortnite down today (March 29, 2025) issue will be resolved?
Epic Games hasn't said anything about when the Fortnite down today (March 29, 2025) issue might be resolved. Given that this is a major technical issue that the studio has taken note of, it might be a while before the problem goes away.
This issue has never presented itself before. The fact that players across all platforms cannot play the title is perplexing and makes one wonder what could have gone wrong.
Update v34.20 could be the culprit, but it concluded on March 25, 2025, and the game worked normally thereafter. The OG 50v50 LTM was launched that very day and worked as intended.
The Fortnite issue is likely to persist for a while, considering that it's now past midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. This means the technical teams are likely off at the moment, and it could take a while for them to get to work and figure out what went wrong. Epic Games will provide an update when the issue is resolved.
For the time being, you will just have to wait out the Fortnite server being down today (March 29, 2025). As mentioned, you can still log into the game, but with matchmaking and the Discovery Tab being missing, there's nothing much for you to do.
That said, you could get another freebie, like the Command Executor Pickaxe, or an XP boost as compensation for the lost playtime.
Note: Epic Games has fixed the issue related to matchmaking and the lobby.
