UPDATE: February 15th, 2022 — Fortnite servers are now back up and running and update 19.30 is good to go!

Epic Games have taken Fortnite servers offline today for the latest Tuesday update. This means Loopers will be unable to get online for a couple of hours. So let’s take a look at the Fortnite server status right now, for February 15th, 2022.

Is Fortnite down right now?

Yes, as of about 1am PST/4am EST/9am GMT on February 15th, 2022, Fortnite scheduled downtime began for the latest update, v19.30. We are currently unaware of how long Fortnite servers will be down for, but these Tuesday rollouts usually only last around an hour or so. However, when a new update was released on February 1st, there were severe issues when servers went back online, resulting in two more instances of unscheduled downtime. We’ll keep you posted right here as soon as we know more.

In the meantime, you can also keep an eye on the official Fortnite status Twitter profile, which is usually the first place to announce server status updates.

What is Fortnite scheduled downtime for?

19.20 is yet another huge, mid-season Fortnite update, bringing a whole host of new features, as well as bringing some old ones back. One of the most anticipated gameplay mechanics coming back in this Fortnite update is the Treasure Map – just in time for a collaboration with Uncharted. Fortnite Leakers Shiina and TigerHyper have revealed an image of the newly designed Treasure Map. For those unfamiliar with the mechanic, when players find one of these maps, they will be able to follow a path to rare loot, only obtainable with the treasure map.
