Here's what you should do if you're having issues connecting to Fortnite

Before doing anything else, check out this Epic Games status website to see if Fortnite's various services are operational or experiencing degraded performance.

Epic Games is very good about keeping the website updated frequently, and will place messages at the very top of the website if it's exploring why any particular services aren't working as intended.

You can also try Down Detector, which is a third-party website but is very accurate at keeping tabs on reported issues, server problems, and more.

Finally, if it doesn't seem like the problem is on Epic Games' end, try these troubleshooting tips for the hardware you're using to play Fortnite.

Each of these webpages, which are all written and maintained by Epic Games, offers a slew of troubleshooting options to try to fix the problem if it's not a server-side issue, from rebooting and clearing the cache on your console, to addressing possible issues with your internet connection.
