It's only a matter of time before players can jump back in. While Epic has no current estimate as to when it will have the fixes ready to go, and cannot say when the Fortnite Save the World servers will be back up, it promises that the team is hard at work. As such, any players that may have been up well past midnight and then played the Frostnite event this morning may lose some storage.

It does not completely rule out a Switch version sometime in the future by technically saying “no plans” instead of “never,” but there is no tease in that answer.Įspecially since the studio is still tweaking massive aspects of the mode and plans to open it up as a free-to-play title sometime in 2018. The official Epic Games Twitter announced that Save the World will be permanently free to anyone who has Fortnite Crew in May. That is the studio’s answer as of July 2018. “We have no plans to bring Save the World to the Switch,” Epic Games wrote in the FAQ. While Epic Games explained there would be no iOS version due to increased memory and CPU usage than Battle Royale, no specific reason was given for a Switch version. According to Epic Games’ official FAQ for the game, that answer is a no. The two platforms have not received the Save the World mode, though it could be a good fit for the Switch considering it has significantly more power than a smartphone or tablet.
The Battle Royale mode has since launched for other platforms, including iOS devices in March 2018 and the Nintendo Switch during Nintendo’s E3 2018 Nintendo Direct broadcast last month. While Save the World continues to be in paid early access, Battle Royale was released as a free-to-play title that did not require players to buy the Save the World campaign. This particular mode became known as “Save the World” after Epic Games launched Fortnite: Battle Royale a month later. It originally launched in paid early access for Mac, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in July 2017.
