Developers Epic Games announced the downtime earlier this morning, with the server going offline at 9am BST.

After the update is implemented, players can update their game by downloading patch 13.30 and logging back into their game accounts.
Epic Games also noted that the patch would be larger than usual on Nintendo Switch consoles, although didn’t confirm what size this would be.
On Twitter, Fortnite confirmed that "downtime for v13.30 has ended", and that players could "dive back into the fight".
Fortnite recently launched a major new update as it entered its aquatic-themed chapter two, season three story.
