Update 2,\u00a01\/05\/2021:\u00a0<\/strong>Epic Games has revealed the rewards players will be getting after Fortnite went down for several hours back in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Game Informer\u00a0<\/em>first reported on December 29 that Fortnite was down due to server issues and after several hours of the battle royale being offline, Epic Games pushed it back online. They promised rewards to compensate for the downtime, too. The company didn’t announce at the time what those rewards would be, but the official Fortnite Twitter account<\/a> revealed what we can expect today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As thanks for everyone’s patience during the December login issues, we’ll be kicking off a Power Leveling Weekend from [7 p.m. ET on January 7 to 7 a.m. ET on January 10] and granting everyone who logged in during Winterfest the new Crescent Shroom Pickaxe before it arrives in the Shop later.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The official Fortnite Status Twitter account confirmed the fix and also promised a make-good of sorts to compensate players for the time spent offline.

Fortnite game servers are back online and the Winterfest continues! \u2744\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Original Story, 12\/29\/21:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve been having trouble logging into Fortnite today, you\u2019re not alone. Epic Games has confirmed that the battle royale is currently suffering from login and matchmaking problems.<\/p>\n

As of right now (2:07 p.m. Eastern), attempting to launch a Fortnite match slaps you with the following message:<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/article>\n

Epic doesn\u2019t share an explanation for the outage but promises to provide info when a solution becomes available. In the meantime, if you were hoping to rack up Victory Royale\u2019s in the game\u2019s ongoing Winterfest<\/a> event, you\u2019re out of luck for the time being. The same is true if you\u2019re looking to blast foes as Boba Fett<\/a> to celebrate today\u2019s premiere of the character\u2019s new Disney+ series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Fortnite is currently unavailable and players are unable to log-in while we investigate an issue.<\/p>\n

We’ll provide more info when we have a solution to bring services back online. pic.twitter.com\/B3wXvu5SL6<\/a><\/p>\n
