Fortnite Servers Down Today – April 9th, 2024 – When Will They Be Back Up
Whenever Epic Games releases a new major update for Fortnite, they need to take the servers offline for a couple of hours.
Today’s 29.20 (1.000.133) update is no different, and Epic has announced when the Fortnite servers will go offline for scheduled maintenance.
The servers will go down at 4 AM ET / 9 AM BST / 10 AM CEST with matchmaking being disabled a few minutes prior.
Here’s the tweet from the Fortnite Status Twitter account confirming downtime for v29.20:
As expected, there’s no information as to when the servers will be back online. However, we have an idea based on the past few updates.
We’d expect the servers to be back online on April 9th, 2024 at roughly 6 AM ET / 11 AM BST.

There will be 3 pickaxes, 3 back blings, and 1 emote as part of the set, which doesn’t include any items as part of Aang’s set as that’ll be part of the event pass that’ll need to be purchased separately.
We’ll also see the Avatar Mythic items being added to the game. However, they won’t go live in the game until Friday, April 12th at 9 AM ET.
Here’s the tweet from the official Fortnite account confirming the release date for the mythic items:
