This means that its possible to grab the update ahead of its release and then simply play it once the server come back up.How long will the Fortnite downtime be?Epic Games has announced that the Fortnite downtime will last just 90 minutes, starting at 4 AM Eastern Time (8 AM GMT) and ending at 5:30 AM ET (9:30 AM GMT). This will be one of the shortest downtimes, and if all goes as planned, players should be able to access the game again in under two hours after the servers go down.Its worth mentioning that the game developer hasnt always been precise with these downtime estimates.
