Is Fortnite down? Server downtime schedule and what’s new in update 32.

Guides

Players across the globe are finding themselves frozen on the loading screen once again-Fortnite’s servers have gone dark ahead of the Chapter 2 Remix v32.10 update. Here’s what’s happening, how long the outage might last, and what to expect when the game comes back online.


So, if you are wondering when will Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 v32.10 server downtime schedule end, keep reading.

Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 v32.10 Downtime Schedule

Epic Games has confirmed that the Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 v32.10 update will include a scheduled downtime period. Servers are expected to go offline at 4 a.m. ET, allowing maintenance and patch deployment to prepare for new gameplay content. Players will be unable to join matches during this time, and full service will resume once the update is complete, which typically takes a few hours.

Fornite Status X account officially confirmed the start of the downtime with an X post. Fortnite server downtime started at 9:00 AM GMT / 4:00 AM EST / 1:00 AM PST today, Wednesday, November 13. So, you will witness the ‘Fortnite Servers not responding’ text in the game for a while now.

However, you can check when the servers are back online. The best way to know about the Fortnite server status is by checking the official Epic Games status website. On this site, you will notice any ongoing issues related to the game and other Epic services. As of now, the scheduled maintenance for Fortnite Remix chapter 2 is ongoing. So if your Fortnite server is not responding then don’t worry as you’re not the only one.

On the website, a message with the header ‘Downtime for v32.10 Update’ says, “Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.” The maintenance started with the week 2 end of Remix chapter 2 and will end when Ice Spice makes her debut. So, when the downtime ends, the “under maintenance” text will go away.

According to the previous updates and Epic Games schedules, this maintenance could take up to 2 hours. So, according to our prediction, Fortnite Remix Chapter 2 v32.10 will start at 2:00 PM GMT / 9:00 AM EST / 6:00 AM PST today. This is also when the Fortnite servers will come back on.

The new week will see new Ice Spice mythics coming to Fortnite along with new weapons and reload map rotations. In weeks 1 and 2, we already saw Snoop Dogg and Eminem make their way as new NPCs in the game. However, the Kicks will still be delayed.

What is my current timezone setting on Fortnite account

Fortnite accounts do not have a user-configurable “timezone setting.” The game automatically uses your device’s local timezone for displaying schedules, events, and competitive times both in-game and on Epic’s website.​

Matchmaking Region Instead

Fortnite lets you select a matchmaking region (e.g., EU, NA-East, Middle East) via Settings > Game > Language & Region > Matchmaking Region, defaulting to Auto for the nearest low-ping servers.​​
This affects server selection, not time display.

Your Context (EET)

From prior queries at 7:14 PM EET on January 20, 2026, your device is set to Eastern European Time, which Fortnite reflects automatically-no account change needed.​
Servers remain online now ahead of v39.30 downtime on January 22.​
