Fortnite servers went down after the Zero Point event ahead of Chapter 7 launch

Epic took the game offline right after the live show and an in-game countdown lists a four to seven hour downtime window before play should return

Fortnite servers went offline immediately after the Zero Point live event as Epic prepared for Chapter 7 to go live, with an in-game countdown showing when play should resume. The developer posted on FortniteStatus on X saying downtime would begin as soon as the event wrapped, and players saw a countdown inside the client rather than the usual pre-dawn maintenance window.

FYI: Fortnite game servers will be offline following the Zero Hour live event while we release v39.00! Downtime should last several hours.https://t.co/LDnBg5uFGA

— Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) November 29, 2025

Epic’s in-game timer lists a four to seven hour window for downtime, a similar span to what the studio used before Chapter 6, but history shows long queues and auth errors can still crop up when servers return. That risk is not theoretical, a recent launch that struggled under heavy load was Escape from Tarkov 1.0, where authentication faults and disconnects hit a huge wave of players trying to log in at once, and Fortnite could see similar hiccups if demand spikes.

Epic confirmed Chapter 7 Season 1 will begin on November 30, 2025, and the team has already teased crossovers and new content ahead of the launch in previous coverage, including an early look at a DeLorean reportedly arriving for Chapter 7 and other tie-ins. Social channels filled with players reporting disconnects during the broadcast and asking when servers would come back, and while the U.S. evening timing may limit immediate traffic compared with prime hours in Europe, Epic still faces a large active audience to bring back online.

During downtime several creators are expected to publish footage from early access Chapter 7 events, so there will be no shortage of clips to watch while the servers are offline. Tell us what you want to see in Chapter 7 in the comments below, and follow along for updates and clips as servers come back online; leave a comment, and follow us on X, Bluesky, and YouTube.
