Fortnite downtime today (November 29, 2025): When will servers be back up?

The Fortnite downtime today (November 29, 2025) is scheduled to begin at 2:15 pm ET. Matchmaking (the ability to queue for a match) will be disabled right after the Fortnite Zero Hour Chapter Finale Live Event ends. All modes will be taken offline thereafter, and matchmaking will be suspended until the update has been rolled out.

With this being the game's transitional period from Chapter 6 to Chapter 7, the downtime will last for an extended period of time, as everything will be changed. That said, here's more about the Fortnite downtime today (November 29, 2025).

The Fortnite downtime today (November 29, 2025) is expected to last approximately five hours and fifteen minutes. This is based on the last few downtimes that have occurred and the official information provided. The servers will go offline at 2:15 pm ET and should be back online by 7:30 pm ET. Epic Games will provide an update when the servers are live again.

Note: The Fortnite downtime today (November 29, 2025) could be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

Content changes for Fortnite update v39

With this being a brand-new phase of the title's storyline, there's so much new content to expect. There are new mechanics, weapons, POIs, a fresh storyline, and everything in between. The Last Reality is also back in the timeline, which means we could see another character who will take up the mantle of Cube Queen. The Foundation is slated to make a comeback, and other characters such as The Bride from Kill Bill are going to make their debut.

Moving on to the storyline, based on the trailer for Chapter 7 Season 1, it would seem that everything until now was a dream, or rather, a flashback. Given that the Metaverse is rather fluid in terms of timelines, it could also be that this is an entirely different reality, one in which events will play out a bit differently than before.

Unfortunately, that's all we know about Chapter 7 Season 1 at the moment. For more insight, you can read the early patch notes. Epic Games will provide more context once the downtime ends.
