      Frequently asked questions

      Is Fortnite down right now?

      At our last check from UtiBox server · Newark, US, Fortnite was up and answering normally. The page refreshes the check automatically.

      Are Fortnite servers down?

      The official status page (status.epicgames.com) reports “Operational” for Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite and Fortnite Festival. We read it every few minutes. It’s separate from our own check of the fortnite.com website above, so the two can differ.

      Why is Fortnite not working for me?

      If it’s up here but not for you, the problem is usually local: your connection, DNS, a browser extension, a VPN or a block on your network. Try the fixes on this page, then the Is It My Internet? check.

      How do you check Fortnite?

      Our server requests fortnite.com and looks at every layer: DNS, the connection, the TLS certificate, the HTTP answer, redirects and the page content. We also check it from up to 12 locations in other countries, using two free probe networks (Globalping and check-host.net), so a regional outage can show here too.

      How often is this page updated?

      A result is shared for 60 seconds when the site is up and 30 seconds when it has problems, then checked again. You can refresh it yourself after 30 seconds.

      Can I get an alert when it’s back?

      Yes. Use “Alert me when it’s back” and we’ll send one email when our check reaches it again. Guests confirm their address first.
