As of Dec. 22, 2023, at 4:00 PM, EST, yes, Fortnite is currently down for many players who are reporting login issues. Apparently, upon trying to sign into Epic Games and launch Fortnite, gamers are being hit with an error message, stating ‘Unable to login to your Epic Games account’. Unfortunately for anyone who is currently looking to jump into Battle Royale, Zero Builds, LEGO Fortnite, or any of the numerous other games available, it seems you’ll just have to sit tight and wait until the problem has been resolved.

Fortunately, the wait for a fix should hopefully be fairly soon, as this issue has already been identified by the Fortnite team, who have posted an official statement on their FortniteStatus Twitter page. Take a look for yourself below:
