Original article published at 11:13 a.m.:
The famous battle royale game Fortnite is currently unavailable. People trying to launch the Epic Games title encounter an error message. Thus, when trying to access it with the mobile application, an interface indicates that “ servers are not responding “.
It is also impossible to access the game from the Amazon Luna cloud gaming platform recently launched in France. The title is even indicated as “ not available “. A bar at the top of the screen supports this observation. “ Unfortunately, this game is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.“.
At the same time, on DownDetector, the number of reports reaches a relatively high level as users realize that Fortnite is not available.
Fortnite servers under maintenance
So is this the start of a large-scale breakdown? No, don’t panic. The official Epic Games website providing information on the status of the servers provides reassuring explanations. A table thus shows that a maintenance operation is in progress and that there is therefore noa priorinothing unusual. You will just have to be patient.
Another table gives a little more detail by showing that, apart from the official website ofFortniteall game assets are currently out of service.
Therefore, we can wonder if this is a routine operation or if Epic Games is preparing a new major event, like those which have already punctuated the universe ofFortniteMany times.
