Fortnite Downtime
The downtime for the v17.10 Fortnite update starts earlier than most updates today. The downtime started at 9:30 AM CET in the morning.
It is not clear how long the server downtime will last, but the servers usually come back online around 11 AM. You'll just have to hold out for a bit until you can jump back into Battle Royale!
Fortnite 17.10 Patch Notes
As always, Epic Games is keeping quiet about Fortnite's patch notes, but at least we were able to find a few hints about the update. It's no surprise that the patch seems to be the basis for the Cosmic Summer event. There will be some cool quests, rewards, and maybe even a big party. Brace yourselves – it looks like the update will even allow us to enter the mothership! This is what Epic teased via the official Fortnite Status Twitter account.
A new surprise descends. A way inside the Mothership? Fortnite v17.10 is scheduled for release on June 22. In preparation for the update, services will be disabled starting at approx. 03:30 AM ET (07:30 UTC). pic.twitter.com/zrJ4j8mrrU
