Fortnite Simpsons update (v38.10) downtime and release countdown: What time will servers go live?

The Fortnite Simpsons update (v38.10) downtime (which has begun) and the release countdown are one and a half hours (90 minutes) apart. The Fortnite downtime today (November 11, 2025) is scheduled to begin at 4 am Eastern Time, while the servers are set to come online again at 5:30 am Eastern Time.

In terms of new content, Epic Games has confirmed "Donuts" will be appearing on the island. These will be physics-based objects. Players will be able to interact with them, causing them to roll into objects and players, likely dealing damage. It will make gameplay interesting, especially in Zero Build, where players will not be able to build to block the Donut.

That said, here are the details regarding the Fortnite downtime and when the servers will come online again for update v38.10.
