Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 2 Launch Delayed Due to Extended Maintenance Downtime
Fortnite players were left disappointed as the highly anticipated launch of Chapter 5: Season 2 was delayed due to extended maintenance downtime. The maintenance downtime, which typically lasts for a few hours, stretched until Friday evening, much longer than usual.
Many players reported being able to download updates and get into the game after 9PM ET, only to face long queues or error messages when trying to log in. Epic Games status page eventually confirmed that maintenance was over, and everything was operational.
Epic Games finally confirmed the launch of the v29.00 update on Saturday morning. However, reports of “stability issues” on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles began to surface. Some players experienced repeated crashes and were advised to clear the cache on their PS5 consoles.
The game eventually came back online on Saturday morning, with the update available for players to enjoy. Despite this, ongoing issues with stability on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles were being tracked by the Fortnite team.
Overall, while the delay may have been frustrating for players, it seems that Epic Games is actively working to address any issues that arise following the launch. As players continue to explore the new Greek mythology-themed Chapter 5: Season 2, they can expect to see improvements and updates to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
