The game’s official Twitter confirmed the following: “We’re beginning to disable matchmaking in preparation for the v23.20 update, with server downtime beginning soon. We’ll let you know when downtime has ended!”
We’re not expecting much in the way of big updates this time around, but there will be a number of bug fixes Epic will likely work through, which will be confirmed on their Trello board.
How long is Fortnite down for?
