The Fortnite Status Twitter account has acknowledged there is an issue, but not one with PlayStation users directly. It states they are affected by a broader internet issue that is affecting many of their online services.

The replies to the tweet are filled with PlayStation Fortnite players asking if PSN is down or if any other PlayStation users are experiencing the error.

Right now, it is hard to come across a PlayStation Fortnite player who is not experiencing this issue. It seems like PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch users are doing just fine, however.

If players want to fix this problem, there are a few things they can try. First and foremost, unplug the internet connection, whether it's a modem or router, for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.

This should reset the internet. Try and log in to Fortnite on PlayStation after doing so. If that doesn't work, players should uninstall and reinstall the battle royale on their system to see if that solves the problem.

These are the only two viable solutions for PlayStation players. If neither of those work, then it is not a problem that can be fixed alone. Players will have to wait for Epic Games and Sony to turn things around.

The issue affecting Fortnite's online services is something they will have to figure out themselves. Once they do, stay tuned to the Fortnite Status Twitter account for an update on when the issue has been taken care of.
