Hey everyone, we encountered an unexpected issue during our maintenance and we need to extend downtime at least 8 additional hours.
We apologize for making everyone wait longer than usual to drop into Chapter 5 Season 2 of Battle Royale. The team is working through this as…
We’re continuing the work to bring Fortnite back online. Players will be able to pre-download an updated version of v29.00 in approximately 5 hours.
We’re grateful for your patience and can’t wait for everyone to be able to jump in. ⚡💛
We've heard some feedback from players saying that the storm is harder to escape since Chapter 5 Season 1 launch, so we've decided to make some balance adjustments:
⛈️ Storm Circles 1 & 2 now take 20 seconds longer to close.
We'll continue to monitor our Storm data and make…
We're still working to recover from the overwhelming attendance from the first event showtime.
We're taking Fortnite offline temporarily while we work to set up encore shows in a few hours. More info on our next showtimes coming soon.
✅ Two favorites return! Unvaulted the Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle
✅ Doubling chance of Crafting Parts in floor loot (again!)

We’ve made adjustments to some of the new items in Chapter 3!
☑️ Increased the accuracy of the Striker Pump Shotgun.
☑️Slightly increased the fire rate of the Striker Pump Shotgun.
☑️ Decreased the amount of time it takes to pull out the Auto Shotgun.

Status: Galactus defeated! Thanks for your efforts.
Fortnite is currently in a prep state for Chapter 2 - Season 5 (v15.00). Server downtime for the update begins December 2 at 12 AM ET (05:00 UTC) and is expected to run until approx. 4 AM ET (09:00 UTC). Stay tuned for updates.
We have removed the Rail Gun and the Recon Scanner from competitive playlists.
We'll let you know if there are additional updates to Competitive gameplay.
We understand we missed the mark in adding an option to disable pre-edits in the 15.10. We know many of you find pre-editing unnecessary and would like a setting where you’re not able to edit a build until the build is in place. We plan to adjust the setting early next year.
We'll be making changes to the Stinger SMG, MK-Seven Assault Rifle, and Auto Shotgun in a hotfix released tomorrow, January 13.
We'll follow up on this post with the adjustments made when they are live in-game.
Fortnite is currently unavailable and players are unable to log-in while we investigate an issue.
We'll provide more info when we have a solution to bring services back online.
The Device is almost set for activation.
Midas’ plan will unfold at 2:00 PM ET (18:00 UTC). Space is limited, so we recommend arriving 30 minutes early to help secure your spot.
Creative mode, Party Royale, and Battle Lab are currently disabled.
We’re continuing to investigate a server issue preventing us from opening up Fortnite game servers for everyone to log-in.
We appreciate everyone's patience and will provide an update when Chapter 3 Season 2 has officially launched.
The v28.00 patch can now be downloaded on all platforms.
Start the download now and we will let you know once we are back online, ready for you to jump in!
Balance Adjustment!
🛡️ We've slightly increased the drop rate for both Small Shield Potions and Shield Potions in Battle Royale while still keeping things OG.
Stay safe out there.

We've heard your concerns about XP. While there’s new quests in 21.10 and events to earn XP all summer, we also want to make things feel better now.
So we've doubled Accolade XP, as well as granted players a boost of Supercharged XP, to keep the good vibes going!
The Device event has finished. Core Battle Royale playlists are back on. All other Battle Royale playlists and Creative mode will be re-enabled shortly. We apologize to those who couldn’t attend live.
