Is LEGO Fortnite down? How to check LEGO Fortnite server status

LEGO Fortnite is finally here, but the servers might be a bit overwhelmed by the amount of players that are clamoring to get in. But player overload isn’t the only reason why the servers may be taken down.

If you’re wondering where you can go to check whether the servers are actually down, we’ve got you covered.

Are the LEGO Fortnite servers down? How to check

On Jan. 30, LEGO Fortnite servers were taken offline temporarily due to a significant bug causing player villages to crumble away, costing players hours of time spent building them. A follow-up update has not been announced by Epic yet.

For LEGO Fortnite specifically, the LEGO Fortnite Status account is the go-to place to receive updates about the survival game mode. Fortunately for all Fortnite players, the Fortnite Status account on X is well-kept and has all of the up to date information on the servers. From technical issues to whole server outages, Fortnite Status is the place to be.

In addition to following the LEGO Fortnite Status account, players can also connect to a “community issues” Trello board to see all the issues Epic is working on across Fortnite. There is also a specific LEGO Fortnite Discord that can be joined.

Up until this disastrous village bug, LEGO Fortnite hasn’t had a ton of issues yet, but this most recent one is certainly not good, as losing hours of progress could deter players from rebuilding.

Still, the LEGO Fortnite mode is proving to be extremely popular. It’s the best toy sandbox mixed with the best video game sandbox, a match made in heaven. There’s tons of stuff you need to know about the Minecraft-adjacent mode, like whether resources respawn and whether you can use guns, but the mode is very straightforward.

The longevity of Fortnite has never been explicitly tied to the battle royale primary game mode. It’s been for its flexibility in game modes, and the wildly popular Creative mode. It’s the platonic idea of what the metaverse was supposed to be, the ultimate online social tool with the ability to modify anything and everything. LEGO Fortnite takes this to the next level, infusing the game with crafting and teamplay ideals across the board. This isn’t the last massive company we’re going to see place a new mode into Fortnite, not while these new modes prove to be wildly popular.
