Fortnite on Xbox lagging today

Many players like this individual took to Twitter to express their concerns about Fortnite lagging today. From the looks of it, this issue only affected players on Xbox devices. Other platforms were unaffected, and gaming continued without any major performance issues.

The Snake Eyes skin dropped in the game a few hours ago. Many players rushed into the game to try the new skin. However, the lag made it difficult for them to play the game.

Epic Games made a statement on Twitter stating that the issue was resolved after a couple of hours of it being reported.

However, some users went down the conventional route of uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it, hoping to resolve the issue.

While Epic Games hasn't given any information about why Fortnite was lagging today, they advised players to relaunch the game if the issue persisted.

With that said, players can now hop back into the game and check out the Snake Eyes cosmetic set, which arrived in the game a few hours before Fortnite began lagging today.
