Here’s everything we know about Fortnite’s downtime following the Big Bang event.

The Fortnite Big Bang event will begin on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm UK time.

There will also be a waiting room for players before the event starts which will open 30 minutes before the event goes live.

The main game modes will go down before the event to allow the servers to update for the Big Bang.

Servers will go live again at 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 6:30pm UK time so that people can enter the waiting room for the Big Bang.

Creator-made modes will be available during these times, including during the event.
