Fortnite underwent server maintenance this Thursday, January 22, 2026, for the implementation of update 39.30. Epic Games, the game’s developer, had to perform emergency maintenance due to technical issues during the process, which extended the downtime. As a result, millions of Brazilian players were left without access to Battle Royale for a few hours. The situation was resolved on the same day, and the servers are now stable, allowing matches to resume.
The period of unavailability officially began at 10:00 AM (Brasília time), after matchmaking was shut down at 09:30 AM. However, due to problems with the patch, the servers’ return took longer than expected. Epic Games communicated the unforeseen event on its social media, asking fans for patience. The update, which was about 6.31 GB on PC, could finally be downloaded, and players can now explore the new features.
What do leaks reveal about update 39.30?
While the servers were offline, leaks released by dataminers like ShiinaBR anticipated some of the content. According to this information, update 39.30 paves the way for a possible collaboration with the TV series The Office. Furthermore, a new game mode called Fortnite Crown Jam is reportedly in development, promising a musical and competitive experience.
The leaks also point to lag fixes in the lobby and the game’s central hub, items that are set to return from the vault, and the next Crew pack for February 2026. New skins and sidekicks, including a puppy, were found in the game’s files. Epic Games, however, has not yet released the official patch notes, maintaining some suspense about all the new features.
With the servers stabilized, the Brazilian community is already back on the island. The expectation now is for the official confirmation of the collaborations and the launch of the new mode, which is expected to shake up the competitive scene at the start of the year. Thus, the game continues its routine of constant updates, maintaining player engagement in 2026.
