Fortnite’s servers have stopped working ahead of a major update.

The multiplayer game went offline this morning to allow developers Epic Games to roll out a major new update, numbered version 42.

The game will be back online at midday in the UK, or 7am eastern time, it said.

“Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress,” it said in an update on its server status page. “We will provide updates as necessary.”

When Fortnite comes back online, it will have been updated to v42. That brings a host of changes – including alterations other the map, a variety of new weapons and items, new loot to be found and changes to gameplay including a new “cheat code” feature.

The update also fixes various bugs and other problems, as well as speeding up some parts of the game, such as better performance on the Nintendo Switch.

The full list of new features can be found in a post by Epic Games on the Fortnite Reddit page. It also separately laid out the various bug fixes and improvements in a post on its official forum.

Updates as we have them.
