Fortnite downtime today (August 8): When will servers be back up?

The Fortnite downtime for update v25.30 will start at 4 am Eastern Time today (August 8, 2023). This will likely be the last major update for Chapter 4 Season 3. However, minor hotfixes may still be pushed if and when needed. That being said, while there have been a few server-related issues recently, the update will not be delayed or rescheduled.

As always, the servers will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the update taking place. Matchmaking will be disabled by 3:30 am Eastern Time. Those in-game past 3 am should consider logging off to avoid losing out on progress in-game, especially in the Save the World mode.

How long will the Fortnite downtime last today (August 8)?

Given that this is the last major update for Chapter 4 Season 3, the downtime and maintenance may take a bit longer than usual. Considering that this build version of the game has to run smoothly until the season ends, Epic Games will want to make sure that everything works as intended.

The servers should be back online by 7 am Eastern Time at the latest. Epic Games will make an official announcement when the update is complete. While the servers will be up and running before the announcement, it's advisable not to jump into a match as the servers may not be stable.
