Fortnite users encountered login and matchmaking issues on August 14, 2025, prompting Epic Games to investigate and address the problems. The company acknowledged the outages affecting thousands of players and assured them that efforts were underway to restore normal server operations. After a period of disruption, Fortnite confirmed on August 15 that the login issue had been resolved, except for PlayStation users, and work was ongoing to stabilize the servers for all players.
While the specific causes of the server disruptions were not disclosed, Fortnite expressed appreciation for users’ patience and committed to resolving any ongoing issues. The company also provided updates for PlayStation users, announcing that normal server operations had resumed. Epic Games, the parent company of Fortnite, revealed that the login problems also impacted other games like Rocket League and Fall Guys, although systems were reported to be functioning normally at the time.
Simultaneously, Epic Games faced another technical challenge on the same day, labeled as “EOS Developer Analytics Not Visible.” This issue, related to Game Analytics graphs not populating required data in the EPOS DevPortal, was swiftly resolved after being identified. Despite these setbacks, Epic Games announced a scheduled maintenance process for August 18, 2025, affecting certain services such as lobbies, sessions, and achievements temporarily.
The maintenance process, set to commence at 6 a.m. UTC, aimed to minimize disruptions through built-in retry functionality. Epic Games cautioned users that some features like achievement unlock notifications and session invites might experience temporary failures during this period. The company had previously conducted a similar maintenance process for Rocket League Sideswipe earlier in the month, with no reported issues until the login problems arose on August 14.
Epic Games, known for developing popular titles like Unreal, Gears of War, and Infinity Blade, boasts a history of over 30 years since its inception by Tim Sweeney. With a diverse portfolio of successful games, the company continues to navigate technical challenges while striving to provide seamless gaming experiences for its vast user base.
