I don't know exactly what's going on with Fortnite right now, but there's 2 games out there that I used to play that were behaving in similar ways. I don't play those games anymore! because I play a game to be entertained, to have a good time. You can't do that if the game's not working. Now because the people who create these games treat it like they get to do whatever they want to it whenever they want and they don't care that i have severe anxiety your game makes it worse when i try to play and i can't tell what's going on because people don't understand that if you want to update a game you make number 2 or occasionally update to fix bugs your doing the opposite and this is out of hand and I'm begging you not to do what pubg did and update your games so much that they won't function on a console it was originally designed for millions of people pay big money playing these games like fortnite and when the game that cost some people as much as a vehicle don't work properly it pisses them off when they can't play that game and for good reason

Down On switch2

Autumn Rain Bush

what the sigma!? i know right!? hitting 2027 and i still cant play Fortnite 2025-2026

Autumn Rain Bush

server connection issue again still. 2025-2026 cant play Fortnite, hitting to 2027, hopefully it gets resolved then...

FyreZorua

Nah if that was the case I would have zero access to the account, what's weird is I could still access it. The router and fortnite servers were just fine. But my console wouldn't connect even after restarting the thing 20 times. I eventually got it working again but still wth

kazooie

You probably got hacked

FyreZorua

I can't log into my account for some reason!????

FyreZorua

Jen B.

Please try another card or payment method" fortnite said i have to wait another 24 hours. Called my bank, nothing wrong on that end, retyped my information, etc.... and still denied.

FyreZorua

Dylan

Still can't party up at all with my duo!!!! On Xbox 1 ice done everything! At this point I think it's an epic issue! Lol 🤣

Luis Sanchez

I’m trying to start up Fortnite on my ps4 I get the loading screen of Fortnite but then it shuts my ps4 off

Server are so bad it pathetic that the game has to run on crappy servers for no reason, they don’t do anything about it and they wonder why the game is dying, epic is severely brain dead to the point I don’t think it they know what they’re doing

Bubdjdjsjsn

All epic games are unplayable right now due to lag. Don't even bother

Blah

What is going on with the servers today? They appear to be total garbage.

B Rand

Is ping high for y'all?

Autumn Rain Bush

damn cant believe they steal from u like that wtf, i hope ur honest about ur job application drama...just making sure Dragon, im still trusting u, so wait..does that mean the rest of the gaming companies like Bandai Namco etc stole from u too~!?! wtf no way..i didnt even know about this since i was BORN

Autumn Rain Bush

yes been like this for since last year 2025 unable to join server for this long...

Autumn Rain Bush

(Update) Server connection issues again as usual nothing wrong with my internet at all its just Epic, i know the rest of u guys in the US probably still can or cant play online, u guys probably experiencing laggy and errors lately in the last 6 or 7 months or so, ive been waiting patiently long enough to able to play Fortnite, pwease Epic fix my issue in Michigan

Danny Burdges

Game is broken again. Players freezing all over the place. Fix your servers Epic!

LULZONATOR9000

Son hasn't been able to play in a week. Couldn't even update for a while. Had to use an xbox setup to never shutdown. Reconfigured the route several times. Now after all the work around the games say login issue. How does a company that makes so much money from ripping skins from every be this garbage? Fixing to pull the plug on this whole game.

holy fix your servers and remove the columbus servers at this point becuz i'm alway get matches on the laggest servers possible

FyreZorua

Epic lazy as hell as always it seems.

TryHard Jimmy

cool havent been able to play for a entire week cause of match making

xLoSeR-FoodZz

i was able to get into games but now it wont let me so i went to join an aim training game and i was in it for maybe 5 minutes before it froze and kicked me…

Jaden Pociask

Anybody else getting Matchmaking #1?

Equality

How is this site more up to date and informed better than epic. Wtf fortnite pairing sux lately

holy fix your server the lag is so bad it almost unplayable

SegaSaturn

bruhhhhhh why is my stuff on fortnite lagging so much😭🥀💔

theheadonthedoor

if there's still matchmaking issues, try playing a match or 2 of fortnite og, then going back to the lobby and starting a match of standard battle royale. for whatever reason, doing that let me load into a battle royale match when it was giving me the matchmaker error previously. also, it might not let you select fortnite og at all, in that case just close the game and open it again.

why am i queuing on east if i'm going to be put on west and its so laggy its bad holy fix it

SegaSaturn

Now my stuff on fortnite is lagging🥀

SegaSaturn

I knows, right?💀 like why dis guy always blames these video game producers when he knows thats not the real reason why these games dont function right

Bruh

TigerLover10190 HEART

I’m having issues getting into a match. It prepares the island, but when it tries to find a server, it gives me an error message and tells me that matchmaking failed.

Mentruh

Thanks

Alex Watson

Guys you gotta work around it it's a glitch! You gotta load and download a new map like blitz and then go back to battle royale

Anthony Margetta

This is garbage, just did an update and now this.....oh and epic's site says all is operational. Just freakin' garbage!!!!

Michael Hinsey

Rank works

Michael Hinsey

Dave Money

Les Paul

You ever tried not being a dik 🤷🏻‍♂️

BlackDragonBardBurndCloudF

You are correct. It is not. Their HR AI is trapped in Semantic Looping and gobbling data and server bandwidth.

Alan R. Daves Jr.

Epic website says everything's fine. It definitely is not lol

Alan R. Daves Jr.

Ok so its not just me lol

TryHard Jimmy

Lucas Sathler

Shadow Pea ツ

Fortnite OG: Season X Crashes every time I enter a match. Every other mode and creative island works perfectly fine but OG Crashes as soon as I get into a match. It also showed some Network error signs before even though my internet was completely fine.

Dkota Andersen

Can’t log in to Fortnite on my switch 2. Was watching friends play until they finished their round. But got kicked out. The lobby was bugged. Closed the game. Started it up again and got a red error screen. Started it again and it faked loading. It kept searching for servers.
