Service Outage

Fortnite servers do go down at times in different parts of the world. Interestingly, Fortnite shut down its servers in China last month on November 15. As a result, players from the region are now unable to log in to the game.

Hereby, we will also be updating the tracker when the servers go down and are back up.
