Fortnite is currently down following the conclusion of the 'Galactic Battle' season, which featured a Star Wars theme and ended with the 'Death Star Sabotage' live event on June 7, 2025. The event involved players attacking the Death Star hovering over the island, with support for parties of four and early access to pilot X-wing or TIE fighters. The live event started at 1 p.m. CDT, during which servers were temporarily unavailable, typically down for two to five hours. The new season, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, is expected to launch later in the evening, around 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. BST. The upcoming season features a superhero theme, including characters like Superman and Robin, new map locations such as Utopia City and Supernova Academy, and a revamped Battle Pass with skins, cosmetics, hero items, and new map updates. The season's cinematic trailer shows Superman catching a falling Battle Bus, with Robin and Superman confirmed as Battle Pass skins. Players are advised to update their game and check for new content, with Superman's full unlock scheduled for July 11. Despite the downtime, players are already exploring the early access to Death Star Sabotage and participating in mini-games like TIE Fighter vs. X-Wing battles. Epic Games has not yet announced the exact duration of the server outage, but it is expected to be brief, allowing players to return to the game soon.
