UPDATE: You are reunited! Players should once again be able to connect with their friends. We will be leaving notifications and Global/Founder chat off for the time being. Get out there and play with your friends!

We will update you once we enable friend notifications and Global/Founder chat.

UPDATE: You've missed your friends, we know and are about to begin maintenance to address the issues we've been seeing today. There will be some downtime (begins at 2:30 AM ET) during this period while the update makes it way out to you patient players. Thank you for your understanding.

We’ve been having problems with some of our services today. We’ve discovered a fix but it will require some downtime. We are scheduling this for 2:30 AM ET. We thank everyone for their patience today. We want you back out in the action!

We will provide more updates when we have them.

I completely understand you all wanting the update now, I want to see you out there having fun! There are however things we need to prepare before we push this fix and 2:00 AM ET is as soon as we can get this sorted out for everyone.

Thanks so much for your patience everyone! I know this isn't fun.

Game is back up but still no global chat.. what was the maintenance for then? Save the world is so broken, FIX IT! (PC)

Maintenance was to allow players to connect to each other so they can play together. Global and Founder chat will remain off for the time being.

Huzzah! We’ve pushed a fix that should help things return to a healthier state. This should also allow you to once again play with friends. We will continue to monitor stability and keep everyone posted on all the latest updates.

Global and Founder chat will remain off for the time being.

Thanks for clarifying that. I want it done now but didn't expect it to happen. Also can you please address MEDBOTs? I can not continue progressing because the MEDBOT missions can't be completed. There are at least 10 posts in the past few days on r/FORTnITE about it and all that was said was "We're looking into it" and that was 2 days ago.

Just want to clarify we are aware of that issue and are working towards a fix. :)

is this the reason why it didnt just count my win?

That is due to stats currently being disabled. We are still saving all your wins, we will just backfill them at a later date. :)

Don't mean to pester but when's the ETA for it coming back? Thank you for making this game F2P but not P2W :)

Everything is currently in maintenance mode as we apply the fix. Once that finishes everyone will be able to connect. I wish I had a solid time frame for you. We are going to get you out there as soon as we can!

You guys must have your work cut out for you! Holy cow what a day! What a week! Gulp down that slurp juice and build a fort around those servers ladies and gentlemen! Your hard working efforts on this busy weekend is commendable!! Cheers to your squad for working so hard, it probably feels like its 50 vs 1 million right now!

I'm on my 5th cup of slurp juice right now lol. I really appreciate yall's patience. As a gamer, trust me I know this isn't fun. But we really are trying to get you back out there with your friends a quick as we can!

Is anyone else having this problem? If this persists please report it in-game and submit a ticket here, thanks. :)

Stats are currently being backfilled and then we will add them back in at a later date. We are doing this to keep things in a healthy state. Hope this helped.

Huzzah! We’ve applied a fix that has allowed us to enable Duo and Squad playlists once again! We will continue to monitor stability and keep everyone posted on all the latest updates.

Update: Stats are now enabled! Any of the personal stats that were collected while they were disabled will be backfilled in the future (This will also include the previous weekend as well).

Thanks for all your work over the weekend! It’s really appreciated.

We want to see everyone out there having a blast! We know stuff like this is never fun and we appreciate all of your patience.

Thanks again all you beautiful people!
