Fortnite Battle Royale has been taken offline for emergency maintenance, developer Epic has advised.

“We’re bringing the servers offline for emergency maintenance. We apologize for this inconvenience,” a tweet on the game’s official Twitter account reads. “We currently have no ETA on when servers will be back up.”

Users can check Epic’s status page for updates.
