Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025): When will servers be back up?

The Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) is scheduled to begin at 4 am ET. Matchmaking (ability to queue for a match) will be disabled 30 minutes before the servers are disabled. This is the first major update for this phase of the storyline. If you're still in-game, especially in Battle Royale/Zero Build Mode(s), you have some time left to log out and save your progress. The servers will be live again by 5:30 am ET.

In terms of new content, Epic Games has hinted at something, but it's rather vague, as they mentioned: "Tomorrow's forecast: high chance of falling donuts..." This could indicate that we'll have an in-game donut shower, but it's left to be seen how that affects gameplay

That said, here's more about Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025).

How long will the Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) last?

The Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) will last approximately one and a half hours (90 minutes). The servers will go offline at 4 am ET and will be back online by 5:30 am ET. Epic Games will provide an update when the servers are live again.

Note: Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

Content changes for Fortnite update v38.10

In terms of content, aside from the hint provided by Epic Games about "Donut Rain," we do know what to expect. There is some talk of a "Homer Army" being introduced, but again, the exact details are unclear. The only tangible proof we have of these is from the short clip that was posted by the @DisneyPlus account on social media platform X.

It would appear that giant Donuts will be falling on the island, and they will be physics-based. This means you will be able to move them about using physics. As they roll (depending on the elevation), they will gain momentum and slam into objects/players to deal damage.

There is also talk of leaks with regard to a new Stranger Things collaboration, but nothing can be confirmed at the moment. We will only get to know some details when the Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) begins.
