Fortnite has wrapped up its Chapter 6 mini-season, known as Galactic Battle, with an exciting Death Star Sabotage event. Following this collaboration with Star Wars, players must wait a few hours for the launch of the next season, which is set to begin on the same day. Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Super will be available shortly, but how long will the downtime last?

Downtime is a crucial part of maintenance for Fortnite, providing developers with the necessary time to update the servers and ensure a seamless experience filled with new content, including an updated Battle Pass. Below are the details regarding when players can expect the downtime to conclude and return to the Battle Royale.

When Will the Downtime End for Fortnite?

The downtime for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is expected to conclude at 8 PM ET on June 7. Soon after, the servers will be back online, and players should be ready to download the update once downtime is over. This will enable them to log into Fortnite before the inevitable queue forms as millions of players hurry to experience the new season, along with the fresh Battle Pass and the updated weapon and Mythic meta.

Here’s a glimpse of when the Fortnite servers will be operational again across different time zones:

This scheduled downtime is taking place on the same day that the previous Fortnite season ended, which is uncommon as Fortnite typically introduces a new season in the early hours of the following day. However, it appears that Epic Games is optimistic and eager about the potential of Chapter 6 Season 3, especially with the upcoming appearance of David Corenswet’s Superman from James Gunn and the DCU’s Superman, set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
