  • Downtime began at 9 a.m. BST and is expected to last 2–3 hours

Fortnite servers offline for maintenance on 15 July

Fortnite has gone offline temporarily for its scheduled server maintenance to roll out Update 36.20. According to the official @FortniteStatus account on X (formerly Twitter), the downtime began at 9 a.m. BST on Tuesday, 15 July, and typically lasts between two to three hours, based on previous update cycles.

The timing is consistent with earlier outages linked to updates 36.10 and 35.10. Players will be unable to access any Fortnite game modes while the maintenance is underway.

What to expect from Fortnite Update 36.20

While Epic Games has not released full patch notes at the time of writing, community leaker Shiina shared an early overview of what may be included in the update. If accurate, players can expect a combination of new content, limited-time features, and cosmetics.

Potential additions include:

  • New Battle Royale content

  • Live event files, possibly referencing the original rocket launch
  • Free collaboration vehicle, with speculation around the Batmobile or Fantasticar
  • Free pickaxe, available by logging in
  • New Point of Interest (POI): Fortress of Solitude

  • New Blitz Royale week themes

  • New Luminary Hypatia Pack

  • ICON Series emotes

  • Updated files for old collaborations

  • Additional leaks for Chapter 6 Season 4

  • Companions feature – more data may be added

There is also speculation of a potential Deadmau5 collaboration, though this has yet to be confirmed by Epic.

 

Bug fixes and ongoing development

In addition to new content, Update 36.20 is expected to deliver several bug fixes aimed at improving overall game performance. Epic Games’ development team had taken a summer break during June, and this update marks a return to their regular content rollout schedule.

The game recently introduced Blitz Royale mode and Squid Grounds Reload, which helped fill the content gap during the break. Fans can expect more regular updates going forward.

When will servers be back online?

Although exact timing can vary, Fortnite updates typically require between two to three hours to complete. If there are no delays, players can expect servers to come back online by midday BST.

Players are advised to keep an eye on the official @FortniteStatus page for real-time updates on maintenance progress and patch availability.

The change was first noticed by Reddit user ‘deVonY7’, who shared a screenshot of the support page showing PS4 among the listed platforms. GTA IV originally launched on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and while it is now playable on current Xbox systems via backwards compatibility, it remains unavailable on PlayStation 4 and 5 without a new version.
