Fortnite players worldwide are currently experiencing downtime as Epic Games undergoes scheduled maintenance for the v37.31 update. Matchmaking was disabled earlier this morning, with the outage officially beginning at 4:00 AM ET.

The estimated return time for the servers is 5:30 AM ET, but as seasoned players know, unforeseen issues can sometimes extend the downtime.

This update is generating extra excitement as rumors circulate about an upcoming Daft Punk collaboration, promising a visually stunning addition to the game.

Players are encouraged to monitor Epic’s status feeds and reliable tracking sites for updates on server availability. In the meantime, the Fortnite community has taken to social media to share memes and discuss the downtime. Some are taking the opportunity to catch up on other activities, while others are eagerly awaiting the return of their favorite game.
