Update 11/26: Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys are all back online.
Original story follows.
Fortnite and other titles owned by Epic Games are currently experiencing a major problem where users can not log in to the games. Fortnite is one of the most popular video games of all time and has remained an absolute powerhouse ever since its battle royale debuted in 2017. Considering the game's sheer popularity, it's understandably a bit distressing whenever it doesn't work.
Luckily, Fortnite outages are rare. Most of the time, if players can't access Fortnite, it's because the game is in the midst of one of its big chapter-ending events and is in the process of migrating to a brand-new chapter with its own map and gameplay gimmicks. Unfortunately, the latest Fortnite outage appears to be due to login issues where players simply can't get into the game.

Peely has become one of the most iconic mascots in Fortnite, and his library of incredible banana skins speaks for themselves.
Is Fortnite Down Right Now?
Epic Games has acknowledged the Fortnite login problems and has also flagged that users are having trouble logging in to games like Rocket League and Fall Guys as well. With millions of people having time off school and work this week for Thanksgiving, it is definitely not an ideal time for multiplayer games like Fortnite and the others to be inaccessible, so hopefully the issues will be fixed sooner rather than later.
It's unclear exactly how many people are being impacted by the outage, but over 5,000 people have reported problems on Down Detector. We will update this article as soon as Fortnite and other Epic Games services are fully restored.
