‘Fortnite’ Still Down — Here’s When You Can Finally Download The Chapter 5, Season 2 Update
Fortnite remains down, and while there have been some updates, none have been accurate or definitive. Clearly something has gone very, very wrong behind the scenes and Epic Games does not have a solid timetable on a fix.
Originally, the game publisher informed gamers that the update would be available early Friday morning. At around 9 am ET they updated that to an 8 hour delay. That would put the Season 2 release at around 4 pm ET.
That was updated again at around 4 pm ET with another update that states:
We’re continuing the work to bring Fortnite back online. Players will be able to pre-download an updated version of v29.00 in approximately 5 hours.
We’re grateful for your patience and can’t wait for everyone to be able to jump in.
