Epic Games will allow Fortnite players to attend The Big Bang live event two more times. Many players were unable to get into the game due to login issues and long server queues. Due to this, the game developer will have an encore of the event, and you can attend it in case you missed it.
The event featured many fantastic parts, from Eminem’s performance to the teaser of the upcoming Lego mode. It had 11.6 million concurrent players, making it the third-biggest Fortnite event of all time. Unfortunately, this also means that many players were unable to log in.
The next Fortnite live event will go live soon
To make up for server issues, Epic Games will have an encore of The Big Bang live event. The second event will go live at 11 PM Eastern Time. Interestingly, the last event will take place 30 minutes before the Fortnite downtime. Originally, Epic intended to have two re-runs of the event, with the first one scheduled for 5 PM ET. However, the company dealt with server issues, which is why only one re-run will go live.
Well that escalated quickly. Whether you’re in the lobby or in a queue, fear not! We’ll be adding two more showings of The Big Bang after the 2pm ET show.

Epic is aware of the server issues, which is why you will be able to watch the event later on Saturday if you missed it. If you want to attend it for the second time, you will be able to do so as well. However, if you were online for the first event, we advise you to watch its replay instead of attending it once again. If you get on again, you may take someone else’s place.
According to the game developer, the Fortnite downtime will begin at 11:30 PM Eastern Time. Considering that Chapter 5 is around the corner, we expect the downtime to last for at least three hours.
Fortnite live event – FAQ
How can I attend a Fortnite live event?
To attend a Fortnite live event, you need to log in at least 30 minutes before it starts. After that, select The Big Bang game mode, queue up, and wait for the event countdown to hit zero.
What can I do if I get into another queue?
Unfortunately, you can’t do anything about the Fortnite queue. Due to this, we advise you to look at the player count and get on even an hour earlier if necessary.
