How Long Is Fortnite Downtime Today? v21.30 Server Maintenance Schedule

Epic Games has once again confirmed the release of a brand new Fortnite update. The v21.30 Fortnite patch will launch after some scheduled server maintenance, which will see the game enter an extended period of server downtime on July 18th.

Alongside some brand new content for players to jump into, the upcoming patch is also expected to include some important bug fixes for the popular Battle Royale mode. Players will be prompted to download and install a new patch once the downtime has come to an end.

In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming server downtime schedule, including when the Fortnite servers will be back up on Monday, July 18th.

When Will Fortnite Be Back Up Today?

As confirmed via the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, which updates players on any issues or planned server maintenance, downtime for the Fortnite v21.30 update will begin on Monday, July 18th at 1AM PT / 4AM ET / 9AM BST.

The duration of today’s Fortnite server downtime is expected to last anywhere between 1 and 2 hours, meaning the latest that Fortnite will be back up is 3AM PT / 6AM ET / 11AM BST. However, should any issues arise during the scheduled maintenance, downtime may be extended.

A new patch will also be deployed on all supported platforms whilst the game’s servers are offline. Players will be required to download and install the v21.30 update before they can jump back into Fortnite.

The exact type of content coming in the update is currently unknown, but leakers such as ShiinaBR believe it could include a collaboration with Hasbro’s Transformers. Mainly due to the fact that the downtime announcement includes the line “it’s Prime time!”.
