Fortnite experienced a login outage on Thursday, preventing players across all platforms from accessing the game and other Epic titles like Rocket League and Fall Guys. Epic Games resolved the issue within a few hours, restoring services and ensuring PlayStation players could log in.
Fortnite is now back up online after a login outage that Epic Games said was stopping players from “getting in reliably.” “This log-in outage is resolved; all players are able to log-in again across all platforms,” Epic Games confirmed at 8:54PM ET on Thursday (August 14). “We’ll continue monitoring our services to ensure there are no other issues.”“Back to bug-squashing! 🐞 PlayStation players can now log-in again and all servers are back to normal. Thanks for your patience everyone, and we’ll continue monitoring everything to ensure there’s no further issues,” reads a post shared by Fortnite on X (formerly Twitter).Epic Games first reported the problem at 6:39PM ET and said most services were restored by 8:02PM ET, except on PlayStation. The outage also hit other Epic titles, including Rocket League and Fall Guys, along with games using Epic Online Services.During the disruption, players saw error messages such as “unable to sign in to your account for online services” and “please try again later.” Some Twitch streamers, who were competing in a scheduled Fortnite tournament, were left unable to log in or play.
The game has faced similar technical problems before, including an extended downtime last year during the launch of its Greek mythology-themed season and a multi-hour server outage in late 2021.In a related news, an Australian federal court has ruled that Apple and Google’s app stores are uncompetitive, handing a partial victory for Epic Games that develops Fortnite game. The ruling is part of a long-running global legal dispute where Epic has accused the tech giants of anti-competitive behaviour. This comes a week after a US court rejected Google’s appeal in the antitrust lawsuit brought by Epic Games, a decision that affirms Google’s Play Store and payment systems are illegal monopolies.According to news agency Reuters, In Australia, Epic Games specifically argued that the app stores’ fees for game downloads were too high and that the companies prevented users from downloading alternative app stores.
