1) Check the PlayStation Network Status
Before troubleshooting on their end, players need to verify the status of the PlayStation Network. The server side having connectivity issues can often lead to problems logging in. Players can visit the official PlayStation Network status to ensure everything is operational.
2) Restart your console

3) Check your internet connection
Ensuring their internet connection is stable can also help players potentially navigate the error, as a weak or unreliable internet connection can hinder Epic Games' login procedure. Players can also try restarting their router or switching to a wired connection if possible to see if that helps with the issue.
4) Ensure that Fortnite and the PlayStation software is up to date
Outdated software can sometimes lead to compatibility and connectivity issues. Ensure that the game and PlayStation software are updated with no pending updates.
