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 Chapter 6 v33.00 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 v33.00 Update’ says, “Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.” The maintenance started at the end of the Remix Finale event and will end when Chapter 6 Battle Pass makes its 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 2-4 hours. So, according to our prediction, Fortnite Chapter 6 v33.00 will start at 1:00 AM ET /11:00 PM PT. This is also when the Fortnite servers will come back on.
