Several users complained about Fortnite being down. “Great fortnite is down,” one person commented. Another added “Did fortnite just break for anyone else?”. Yet another person said “Anyone Else Fortnite Down ?”. Many complained they were facing issues signing in. One asked “is log in for playstation not working again??”. Another added “As im posting this i logged in but servers are having issues logging in.” Notably, today's outage comes after a scheduled downtime, as announced by the company. “OG classics make their return to Battle Royale!,” they said on X, adding, “Downtime for v39.51 begins at 4 AM ET (9 AM UTC) with matchmaking ending shortly beforehand.” The game was supposed to be offline for 1.5 hours. However, now, with the outage, it remains unclear when servers will be back up, though the company said they are working on the situation. The new content will include skins which players can get from the Item Shop, including those of Rick Prime, Pickle Rick and Mr. PB and Squanchy. They can also look forward to a Disney's Hoppers collaboration and OG Classic Items will also be making their way back to Battle Royale.‘Profile query failed’: What is it, how to fix?
One person commented “Im getting this error msg on pc: Profile Query Failed.” This usually indicates a temporary server-side issue. However, there might a network or cache glitch as well, which users can check on their side.
