Fortnite is preparing for its latest patch update, v36.30, which will mark the last update of Chapter 6 Season 3. Following the introduction of exciting features like the Superman crossover and the permanent Blitz Royale mode in the previous patch, it’s clear that developers are ensuring that players have a robust gaming experience as the season comes to a close.
According to the official Fortnite Status Twitter account, the server downtime for the v36.30 patch will start at 4 AM ET/1 AM PT/8 AM UTC on Tuesday, July 30, 2025. Players should be aware that matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes prior to the downtime, beginning at 3:30 AM ET. It’s advisable for players to avoid entering matches around this time to prevent any disruptions.
While no new content has been explicitly confirmed for this patch, which is expected to be a routine maintenance update, past experiences suggest that the downtime should not exceed two to three hours. Based on previous timelines, players can anticipate servers to be operational again by around 7 AM ET/1 AM PT/8 AM UTC on the same day.
As players await the update, this is a great time to reflect on the exciting features introduced in the previous patches and strategize for the upcoming challenges. Despite the brief interruption, Fortnite continues to evolve and captivate its player base, creating anticipation for what lies ahead in the final stages of Chapter 6.
