Are you a Fortnite fan? Plan around the v18.30 update downtime
Table of Contents
Fortnite is an ever-changing landscape of events, drops, and seasonal additions that can sometimes be hard to keep up with. For those dedicated players who play more than once a Fortnite (thank you), you’ll probably need to know about the changes in Fortnite downtime status today.
To be fair, we can’t expect to receive additions such as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine amongst everything else without Epic taking the server offline for a short time to make sure everything is working as it should. Plus, Epic needs to think about player security and make sure any holes and potential liabilities are taken care of.
Fortnite Downtime Status – When will it be down and what’s comming?
It looks like Fortnite is set for a bit of downtime with update v18.30, which is going ahead at 9 AM BST, 1 AM PST, and 4 AM EST today 26th October. Word on the Fortnite Island streets is that this update will drop some new challenges to Battle Royale as part of the current ‘Wrath of the Cube Queen’ story arc.

With servers closing around half an hour before the downtime to starts, Epics development team may take up to four hours to complete the update and other housekeeping they need to take care of.

- PlayStation 5 – 3GB
