Fortnite downtime today: When is Fortnite back online?
Today’s Fortnite downtime began at around 8.30am GMT this morning, and the game was still offline the last time we checked.
Fortnite downtime can sometimes last three or more hours, so we’d predict that the game will come back online at around 11.30am GMT or midday at a push. If an official live time gets confirmed, though, we’ll be sure to let you know.
We’re beginning to disable matchmaking in preparation for the v19.10 update, with server downtime beginning soon.

Fortnite update today: Full patch notes for 19.10
Although Epic Games is yet to release a full set of official patch notes for today’s Fortnite update, there are plenty of rumours and predictions going around among fans.
One popular theory is that the Fortnite 19.10 update will bring the location Tilted Towers back to the Fortnite map. This seems to have been confirmed by an image of Tilted Towers that is currently appearing in the game as a loading screen.
Other Fortnite patch notes predictions include a number of exciting additions, including grenade launchers, ride-able animals and a new location known as Cover Canyon.
Of course, rumours and predictions can be a bit hit and miss, so we’d wait until Epic Games makes an official announcement before getting too excited. When that happens, we’ll update this page with all the latest Fortnite news.
