Hundreds of users reported issues with Fortnite in the early hours of Tuesday morning, according to the Downdetector website, as the online multiplayer game went through a planned update.
"Downtime for v34.40 begins at 4 AM ET with matchmaking ending shortly beforehand," said a post on X by Fortnite Status.
It was not immediately clear how long the update would last.
Fortnite's developer blog said the update "introduces the Armored Transport spawner from Fortnite Battle Royale, Rebel's Roost prefabs and galleries, and new characters and tools for those creating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles islands."
This is a developing story and more information will be added shortly.
