Fortnite's global rollout of the Simpsons crossover caused a 9-hour outage affecting multiple Epic Games titles due to backend strain.
Fortnite players worldwide faced widespread login and connectivity issues on November 1–2, 2025, during scheduled maintenance for the highly anticipated Simpsons crossover event.
The outage, affecting Fortnite, the Epic Games Store, Rocket League, and Fall Guys, began around 11:30 AM ET and persisted for over nine hours, with Epic Games citing backend strain from the v38.00 update rollout.
Despite initial estimates of a five-hour downtime, full service restoration was not achieved until November 2, with some users still experiencing intermittent issues.
The update introduced a Springfield-themed map, new battle pass content, and character skins, but the technical problems disrupted access for many.
Epic Games acknowledged the issues on its official channels, apologized, and urged users to monitor status.epicgames.com for updates.
