“Investigating – We have identified an issue with logins and some players may experience difficulty when attempting to connect to Epic Games services. We will keep you updated as we work towards a resolution,” Epic Games said.
While the status page on Epic Game’s website initially said “Operational,” everything has since switched to “Major Outage” as the problems look to have intensified.
The issues are reportedly spanning the entire Fortnite landscape, as Fortnite: Save the World players have also been logged out of the game.
A sad sight to see for many eager fans looking to drop into Fortnite.The problem is a mirror of what happened on January 28, hours after the new patch landed. Whether that’s an indication that the patch brought a process causing the outage or if it’s because of another issue remains to be seen.
