Questions

Is Epic Games down right now?

Epic Games’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.

When was Epic Games last down?

The most recent incident Epic Games reported was “EOS Sessions and Lobbies”, 10 days ago (2026-10-16 22:20 UTC). None of its incidents in the last 90 days were a full outage.

Which parts of Epic Games are tracked here?

Epic Games reports 79 components on its status page, including Website, Login, Login, Website/Portal, Drive. Each is checked again whenever this page refreshes.

What should I do if Epic Games is down?

Wait for the service to come back before reinstalling or resetting anything, and check the official channels for compensation notices.

Fortnite login fails — is the Epic Games Store down too?

Not necessarily — Epic lists each game (Fortnite, Rocket League…) and the Store/Unreal Engine services as separate components, and within a game, matchmaking, login and game services are separate rows.

Fortnite matchmaking queues but the lobby works?

Matchmaking is its own component under Fortnite — login and lobby can be fine while matchmaking degrades; check that row rather than the game-wide headline.

How do I tell if Epic Games is down for everyone or only for me?

If the status above is operational but Epic Games still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.

How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?

OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
