Fortnite Update 28.20: Server Maintenance and TMNT Event

Fortnite servers are currently down for maintenance as Epic Games prepares to release update 28.20

Fortnite players woke up this morning to find that they are unable to access the game, as servers are down for maintenance. The reason behind this downtime is the release of update 28.20, which is set to bring some exciting changes to the game.

One of the biggest highlights of this update is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) event, which is scheduled to start on Friday, February 9, 2024. Epic Games has been teasing this event on their official Fortnite Twitter/X accounts, calling it "lean, mean, and green."

Expected duration of the server maintenance

Epic Games has not provided a specific end time for the server maintenance, but based on previous updates, players can expect Fortnite to be down for approximately 3-4 hours. If everything goes according to plan, the servers should be back online before 12pm UK time / 7am ET.

However, it's important to note that unexpected issues can arise during the update process, which may cause delays in bringing the servers back online. In such cases, Epic Games usually communicates any delays to the players.
