Fortnite players on PlayStation haven’t been able to access the battle royale game for more than 12 hours. Sony’s online services are having issues, which is why PSN is down across the globe. While the situation is slowly getting better in certain regions, some players are still unable to access any of their games on the console.

Luckily, if you want to play Fortnite on PlayStation, there is a trick you can use. This will help you bypass the login screen and get you right into the game.

How to log in to Fortnite on PlayStation

If you are on PlayStation, chances are that you can’t currently play any game. Fortnite servers are up and functioning on every platform. However, it is the PlayStation Network that is down, and it’s impossible to say when it will be up. The good news is that you can still get into Fortnite, you just need to be persistent and stay on the login screen.

To get into the game, simply keep pressing the Retry button after the login error. Once you do this, Fortnite will attempt to log you in again and will likely fail. However, you simply need to keep trying and press the button several times before you get in.

While this trick will get you in the game, it doesn’t guarantee that you will stay logged in for a long time. Sony is currently investigating the issue with PlayStation servers, and we are hoping they will get back up soon. For now, you can only use the simple Retry trick and hope that it gets you into the game.
