The most reliable way to monitor Fortnite’s server status is through the Epic Games Status website. Here, you can find updates regarding any issues affecting the game or other Epic services. Currently, scheduled maintenance for Fortnite Chapter 6 v33.00 is in progress. If you’re encountering server issues, rest assured that it’s not just you.
According to the information displayed on the status website, a message under the title ‘Downtime for v33.00 Update’ indicates, “Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.” This maintenance phase commenced following the conclusion of the Remix Finale event and will end upon the launch of the Chapter 6 Battle Pass. Once the downtime concludes, the “under maintenance” notification will be removed.
Based on previous updates and historical information from Epic Games, this maintenance is expected to last approximately 2 to 4 hours. Therefore, it is predicted that Fortnite Chapter 6 v33.00 will officially kick off at around 1:00 AM ET / 11:00 PM PT, which is also when the servers should come back online.
