Why the Downtime Window Matters
Server downtime ensures all players get the same patch simultaneously across platforms.
Your gameplay progress is completely safe during maintenance periods. All cosmetics, V-Bucks, and Battle Pass rewards remain secure.
The 1.5-hour window is typical for mid-season patch deployment in Fortnite.
Players in different time zones experience downtime at different local times. US players see 4:00 AM ET to 5:30 AM ET maintenance window.
When You Can Jump Back In
- Servers return at 5:30 AM ET (US East Coast)
- UTC servers online by 10:30 AM UTC exactly
- Epic will announce when all regions are restored
- Download the patch before queuing into matchmaking
- Expect increased server congestion immediately after launch
You can pre-load patch files while servers are down.
What Happens to Your Progress?
Nothing detrimental occurs to your account during maintenance.
Your Battle Pass progression, cosmetics, and account data transfer perfectly to the new patch.
Any quests active before downtime will remain available after restart.
Experience accumulated in matches isn’t lost—servers reset cleanly for the new build.
Are More Simpsons Characters Coming?
Game files hint at additional Simpsons content beyond this update.
The Stranger Things crossover also appears in the patch files, suggesting November surprise reveals.
Epic typically teases future collaborations in patch notes within days.
Will your favorite character from Springfield drop before November 30?
