In November 26th to 27th, Epic Games experienced a widespread global login outage.

This incident affected not only Fortnite but also other Epic Games services such as the Epic Games Store, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and the Developer Portal.

Many players worldwide reported login difficulties, server connection issues, and authentication errors.

The outage was identified as originating from Epic Online Services (EOS), a shared backend system that handles the login process.

This indicated that the issue was not a platform-specific bug, but rather a more fundamental backend authentication issue.

Epic Games immediately confirmed the issue and stated that their team was conducting an intensive investigation to resolve it.

The impact of the outage was felt across all platforms, from PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Although Epic Games did not provide a public recovery timeframe as of November 27th, later reports indicated that the backend outage had been resolved, allowing players to return to play.
