Many players are faced right now with a Fortnite Cooldown error that is absolutely frustrating for anyone that wants to jump into a match at the moment. This is a rather annoying issue that requires players to take a chill pill for the moment and not be able to join in any Battle Royale matches.
Similar to the failed to connect to matchmaking service error that we recently covered, the Fortnite Cooldown error is affecting every single platform that the game is available on including PC, Xbox One, PS4, and iOS mobile devices. Thankfully, we have an explanation for what’s happening and what you can do.
Fortnite Cooldown Error Explained
The Fortnite Cooldown error is requiring a little cooldown for everyone across the world right now. This error just started and we suspect that it is most likely related to the release of the iOS edition of the game that launched just earlier today (as of the time of publishing). If that isn’t the case for you, then it could be a recent or incoming update.
Regardless of whatever the reason is behind the Fortnite Cooldown error, it is essentially put a total stop on all matchmaking services on every version of the game. Thankfully, we have some tips for you that you can do in the meantime while the servers are on cooldown.
How to Fix the Fortnite Cooldown Error
Because the Fortnite Cooldown error is a widespread issue, there is little that you can do right now other than be patient and wait it out until the servers are back on. While the cooldown is in effect, no one will be able to access online Battle Royale matches until the cooldown has been lifted by Epic Games.
Thankfully, Epic Games is working on a fix so that the Fortnite Cooldown can be lifted and players welcomed back in. We recommend keeping an eye here and on the official game website for any updates regarding when the cooldown will be lifted. Good luck!
