Fortnite servers are down as Epic Games is implementing the latest patch version 12.50 for the popular battle royale game.

Epic Games confirmed the downtime for Fortnite earlier today as the game was taken offline at 7am BST.

The game could be offline anywhere between an hour to two hours, but in some cases, it could be much longer.

Once the update has been rolled out, players should have no problem updating their game by downloading the new patch and logging back in.

The official Twitter page for Fortnite's server status shared the information earlier today.

Epic Games rolls out updates for Fortnite every Wednesday, so this downtime is expected.

As for what's being added in this update, we'll have to wait and see since Epic doesn't release any patch notes for Battle Royale anymore.​

We will update this article once the servers come back online and the game is playable again.
