It’s time for another patch update to drop in Fortnite. Right now the game is going through its Chapter 6 Season 3 called “Super” which is based on Superheroes. As a result, this season has brought a lot of superhero themed mythic items, a new hero rank system, new weapons and meta shifts, and many more.


Patch v36.20 is going to implement a lot of those contents in the game after an hour or so - like the part of the Superman crossover, permanent Blitz Royale mode, the Boom Bonnanza event, and many, many more.

It's been some busy days for the Fortnite developers since coming back from the summer break, as players will again get regular updates every fortnight, and now it’s time for patch v36.20. The previous patch, v36.10, was released almost a month ago. So, fans are already hyped up with the upcoming update.


They don’t have to wait anymore as Epic Games has confirmed that server downtime for patch v36.20 will begin at 4 AM ET on July 15, which is just minutes away at the time of writing this article. The developers also stated that matchmaking will be disabled 30 mins before the start of the downtime, so players can enter a match at about 3.30 AM ET. Now, it’s advised to all players not to enter a match around that time as the servers can go offline in the middle of a match.


Now the question is, how long will the server stay offline? Usually seasonal patches take hours to get implemented in the game and server downtimes in those scenarios can make people wait for longer hours. But that’s not the case with patch v36.20. However, as it’s been a month since a patch update last dropped in Fortnite, it might take longer than usual hours in this regular patch.


Fortnite players can expect the servers to come back online after 2-4 hours from the beginning of the server downtime. That means the downtime can end at any time between 6 AM to 8 AM ET on July 15. The exact ending of the downtime can’t be predicted because it varies across the regions and servers to implement the whole update. So, stay patient and jump back into the field once the servers are done with the downtime.
