You might be wondering: How long has Fortnite been down for today (March 29, 2025)? Due to technical issues, players have been unable to play a single match for a few hours. The entire UI, which allows players to explore the Discovery Tab to look for modes to play, has gone missing. Epic Games only addressed the problem about 30 minutes after the community had raised the alarm.

To answer the question of how long has Fortnite been down for today (March 29, 2025), the timeline as it stands is at a little over four hours. An announcement was made on the social media platform X at 11:42 PM Eastern Time on March 28, 2025. This is what Epic Games had to say about the Fortnite server down today (March 29, 2025) situation:

"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."

As mentioned, it has been four hours, and there has been no update provided yet. Given the severity of the situation, it will be a while before Epic Games can officially provide any further updates regarding the situation.

As mentioned, Fortnite has been down today for a little over four hours and counting. The game is accessible, but you cannot play due to being unable to access the Discovery Tab. Without the ability to select a game mode, players have been left twiddling their thumbs in-game.

You can check out other aspects of the game, such as the Career Tab or the Item Shop. However, other than this, there's nothing else to do. This is what Epic Games had to say a short while ago:

"Matchmaking Offline Update: we’re still working to bring matchmaking back online for all players affected. We’re postponing the OCE Div Cup Final and will announce a reschedule for this at a later date."

That is everything we know related to how long Fortnite has been down today (March 29, 2025). Epic Games will provide an update when the situation changes. Until then, there is nothing else to do as this issue cannot be fixed by walkaround or any other methods.
