Fortnite servers are back up and running earlier than expected after Epic Games implemented patch 12.21.

Epic Games confirmed the downtime for Fortnite earlier today as the game was taken offline for roughly two hours.

Now the patch is available to download, you should have no problem updating and logging back in and it looks like the patch update is 2 GB on PS4 consoles.

The game wasn't offline for long and, as Epic Games seem to continue to do, the downtime wasn't as long as expected. So what are you waiting for? You can jump back into Fortnite right now and get that win.

Unfortunately, Epic Games has stopped sharing patch notes about all the features brought in these updates so we'll have fire it up to see what's new in version 12.21.

The servers went back online this morning, as shared in this tweet.

The servers were confirmed as going down today to implement a new update, meaning players couldn't log in for a time this morning.

This patch isn't expected to bring anything huge to the game, but there might be a couple of tweaks and changes to the new Choppa vehicle which was introduced last week.

The Choppa is a helicopter which allows you and three other squadmates to jump in to and hit the skies in style.

Early reports from people on Twitter suggest that combat shotguns are back in the game after they were vaulted.

If there are more dramatic changes coming, we'll have to see the state of the game now the servers are back online.
