According to Epic Games, Fortnite servers are scheduled to go offline on July 21, on all major platforms from 9 AM BST i.e. 4 AM ET or 1:30 PM IST. This is called as Fornite downtime by members of this gaming community. The Fornite Downtime means all the modes will be unplayable for the duration of the maintenance period.

Reports have estimated that Fortnite downtime today could last for a maximum of 3 hours, leaving the game unplayable for a long time during the time. This estimated time is calculated as per the previous time taken by Epic Games to make the game playable again.
