Hits all major consoles—right before holiday gaming rush
The outage is affecting players on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
Some can't even get into the games; others get stuck in endless queues or face connection errors.
Epic has said their engineers are working on it but hasn't given an ETA yet.
Bad timing for Fortnite events
This comes just as Thanksgiving break kicks off—a prime time for gaming—and during the final days of Fortnite's Simpsons crossover event (ending November 29).
