Since around 7:00 PM EST, Fortnite players have been reporting matchmaking and login issues when trying to play the game. The support account for Fortnite has since acknowledged there are issues and is investigating the problem. Unfortunately, it is unknown when the outage will be fixed. Fortnite recently started Chapter 6 Season 3, adding new content to the game. Featuring a superhero theme, Epic Games has introduced Superman and Robin as part of the latest battle pass. In addition, Hero Items were added, allowing players to use special powers after picking them up. More collaborations will likely come to the game during the season, giving fans something to look forward to. The release of all the new content for Chapter 6 Season 3 has encouraged many players to log on. However, it appears that some issues are currently preventing many from doing so.
