This outage aligns with scheduled maintenance for a major update, the first significant one since Fortnite Chapter 3 launched. Matchmaking was disabled earlier today across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile, leading to brief server downtime.
Today's official statement from Fortnite Status: "We are aware of an issue where players in Creative Mode may see their screens go black after completing a match. This is currently under investigation, and we will provide an update when possible."
Prominent streamers have vented frustration on Twitter (now X), with some noting inaccessible account details. Rest assured, Epic's track record suggests a swift resolution.
