According to Epic Games, the Fortnite servers will go offline at 4:00 AM Eastern Time (ET) on July 15, 2025. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes earlier, so players in ongoing matches will be automatically removed from the game before downtime begins.
The estimated downtime is 2.5 hours, with servers expected to return by 6:30 AM ET.
Epic Games will share an official status update when servers are live again. Downtime may be extended depending on technical issues.

Confirmed Additions:
