The Fortnite servers always go down for scheduled maintenance before a major patch. Here’s the current server status on April 5th, 2022.
It’s been just over two weeks since the release of Fortnite chapter 3 season 2. The new season introduced two new mechanics to the game, tactical sprint, and mantling.
With the addition of these two new mechanics, Epic Games decided to remove building from the core games modes, but players were still able to build in any LTM that was in rotation at the time along with areas.
Building has since returned to the game after a delay pushed back when it was added back to the game. Originally, data-miners confirmed that building will return nine days after the season launch, which meant it would come back last Tuesday.
However, data-miners then stated there was an issue with Epic trying to bring back building in the core game modes and was instead returned back to the game on Saturday, April 2nd, 2022.
The season has got off to a good start and most of the player base is happy. A large number of “OG” players have returned to the game now that there are zero build game modes, and the season will only get better. Epic Games announced the first major update of the season that will come with scheduled Fortnite server downtime.
Is Fortnite Down Today? (April 5th, 2022)
When Epic Games announce a new patch for Fortnite, it’s tweeted on the official Fortnite Status account. The announcement includes when the Fortnite servers will go offline for scheduled maintenance, and today was no different.
The Fortnite servers are currently down and will remain down for at least two hours based on what we’ve seen from previous patch releases within the last few months. The current server status for April 5th, 2022 can be seen below.
