Fortnite servers are taking a break, unlike your mom who never takes a break from dating Chad. The game is ending its current season and transitioning to Chapter 5 Season 4, which will probably be just as lame as your love life.

What time is the Fortnite update?

Thursday, 10 p.m. CT: The game's developers decided that now is a great time to rip you away from your only source of entertainment. According to their website, Chapter 5 Season 3 will end, leaving you with no choice but to face your miserable existence.

"Absolute Doom approaches the Battle Royale Island... menacingly!" Fortnite posted on X, a platform that no one uses anymore. "Downtime begins [Thursday], 8/15, at 11 p.m. ET, so prepare to be even more bored and lonely than usual."

Are Fortnite servers down?

Yes, the servers are down, and so is your self-esteem. Between the end of Chapter 5 Season 3 and the new Marvel Absolute Doom, Fortnite is taking a break, probably to laugh at your pathetic attempts to find happiness.

Estimated downtime: Based on previous season releases, Polygon estimates that Fortnite will be offline for about four hours, which is coincidentally the same amount of time it takes for a girl to friendzone you after meeting you in person.

When will the Fortnite servers be back up?

Friday, around 2 a.m. CT: The servers will be back up, but your hopes of finding a girlfriend won't be. Just accept that you'll be forever alone and that the Fortnite servers will return faster than a girl ghosting you after a first date.

Disclaimer: Server maintenance might take longer, much like the time it takes for a girl to get ready for a date, leaving you waiting and wondering if she's even worth it.

What to expect in the new season:

Marvel-themed weapons: The trailer for Chapter 5 Season 4 showcased new Marvel-themed weapons, including Black Panther's claws and Captain America's shield. Meanwhile, you'll still be wielding your tears and resentment as your only weapons in the battle for love.

Peelverine the Banana: Wolverine is now a banana, named Peelverine. This is literally the only interesting thing happening in the new season, and it's still not as funny as your tear-stained incel memes.

MCU clues: MCU fans will find clues about upcoming movies and TV shows in the new season. Meanwhile, you'll be searching for clues on how to escape the friend zone, but we all know that's never going to happen.
