Fortnite downtime: Servers go down today for update 33.20 and Festival Season 7 launch

As the game deploys patch 33.20, which will include Fortnite Festival Season 7 and other features, FORTNITE servers are now down.

This planned repair will introduce new stuff for the Fortnite Festivals, such as Godzilla in the Battle Royale mode and Hatsune Miku skins.

Here is all the information you require regarding the current outage and the anticipated time of server restoration.

Today, January 14, 2025, at 9 a.m. GMT/4 a.m. ET, Fortnite’s update 33.20 went down. Matchmaking was turned off just prior to that moment.

As per usual, Epic Games has issued a warning to users via the official Fortnite Status account on Twitter/X about the servers going down beforehand.

Fortnite Hatsune Miku skins leak ahead of Festival Season 7 s start

Additionally, Season 7 of Fortnite Festival, which will feature virtual pop sensation Hatsune Miku as the main act, will begin with Update 33.20.

By leveling up the Music Pass, players will be able to access skins, musical instruments with Miku themes, and other cosmetics from the Hatsune Miku collaboration.

How long is Fortnite s downtime for update 33.20?

We anticipate up to three or four hours of downtime for 33.20 and Fortnite Festival Season 7 based on prior updates of a comparable size.

Accordingly, Fortnite servers should be back online by 1pm GMT/eightam ET today, January 14, 2025, if all goes according to plan.

You should anticipate the game to return from outages even sooner because updates like this one are frequently released far more quickly than usual.

What time does Hatsune Miku come out in Fortnite?

As soon as servers return from the outage caused by update 33.20 seconds, Hatsune Miku and her makeup will be available in the game.

Players who purchase the Music Pass or have an active Fortnite Crew subscription will instantly receive a Neko Hatsune Miku as part of Fortnite’s Hatsune Miku DLC.

A second skin will be available as a last-minute bonus in the Music Pass, in addition to additional cosmetics with a Miku theme.

When the game comes back online, a vintage Hatsune Miku outfit will also be available for purchase with V-Bucks in the Item Shop.

Check out the Hatsune Miku skins that were leaked before to the launch of Fortnite Festival Season 7 for additional information on the game.
