Why is Matchmaking Disabled in Fortnite?

During this maintenance, Fortnite will be offline and you won't be able to access the game, which means matchmaking is disabled. If you decide to log in, you'll receive a message informing you that the servers are currently down for the v30.30 update. Here's how to check the server status in case it takes longer than expected.

How to Check Fortnite Server Status

If you're uncertain whether the downtime is still ongoing, here are a few ways to check the current Fortnite server status:

1. Check the official Fortnite Status Twitter account (@FortniteStatus): Epic Games posts updates here about server maintenance, outages, and estimated downtime completion.
2. Visit the Epic Games server status page (status.epicgames.com): This site provides the current status of all Epic Games services, including Fortnite. Any issues or scheduled maintenance will be noted here.
3. Check Fortnite social media accounts: Other players often post updates when they can log back into the game after downtime, indicating that the servers are back up.

Once the update maintenance is complete and servers are back online, players can look forward to lots of new content and changes in patch v30.30. In the meantime, all there is to do is wait patiently for the scheduled maintenance to finish. Stay tuned for Fortnite x Fall Guys-related content!
