Fortnite down: Game goes offline as developers roll out maintenance patch
Fortnite has gone down while new fixes are applied to the game.
It will be unplayable for a short time while developers do "maintenance".
No major updates are expected for players when the game goes back online, since the update was announced only as a "maintenance patch".
Such scheduled updates usually take just a couple of hours before allowing players to get back online.
The outage began around 7am UK time, and developers Epic Games gave no indication of when it might be over.
Epic also did not release patch notes for the update, or indicate which bugs or problems it will fix.
