Epic Games has announced that its Fortnite servers will be down for maintenance on Monday, August 18, at 6 am UTC for 30 minutes.

Epic Games has stated that their retry functionality will help minimize the impact of this disruption, but achievement unlock notifications and session/lobby invites may fail during this time [1].The maintenance comes after Fortnite players experienced widespread login issues on August 14, 2025, which left them unable to access the game. Epic Games quickly resolved the issue, allowing players to log in across all platforms by the end of the day. The login problems also affected players of Rocket League and Fall Guys, which were also being worked on by the company [2].
To address the matchmaking error 3 issue, Epic Games has provided a series of steps for players to follow. These steps include checking the Fortnite servers, restarting the router, adjusting DNS settings, disabling VPNs or proxies, whitelisting Fortnite on security software, and clearing the cache. These measures are designed to help players troubleshoot the issue and minimize downtime [1].

The upcoming maintenance is expected to be a routine procedure, and Epic Games anticipates that the disruption will be minimal.
