Fortnite Down? Update v39.00 Maintenance Details
Epic Games temporarily took Fortnite servers offline for scheduled maintenance ahead of the v39.00 update, following the much-anticipated Zero Hour live event. This downtime is standard for major updates that introduce new features, balance changes, and content for the upcoming Chapter 7.
When Downtime Began
Fortnite servers went offline shortly after the Zero Hour event wrapped up. The maintenance window was scheduled to begin early in the morning UTC, ensuring minimal disruption for most global players. Epic Games had previously alerted users via in-game notifications and on social media about the maintenance period.

The new update is rumored to bring:
- Fresh gameplay mechanics and map changes linked to the Zero Hour storyline.
- New cosmetics, challenges, and a revised Battle Pass.
- Performance improvements and bug fixes aimed at smoother gameplay on all platforms.
“Fortnite will be temporarily unavailable while we perform maintenance for version 39.00. Thank you for your patience,” Epic posted on its official status page.
