When Epic Games takes Fortnite servers offline, it is usually for content and maintenance updates, with the developers using this time to add new content to the game and fix any issues.
Downtime in Fortnite depends on the type of update being added. If the update is a mid-season content patch, it usually lasts 1-2 hours. However, seasonal launch updates can have longer downtimes, sometimes lasting for up to 8 hours.
