Is Epic Games Down?
Server Status Now
Live status of the Epic Games Store and launcher from Epic's official feed: all eight store services Epic reports (login, downloads, purchasing, wallet and more), with the official record behind each incident.
Source and history second.
The Epic Games Store is UP.
Epic reports all 8 services in its Epic Games Store group as Operational — login, downloads, purchases, the Epic wallet and the rest of the store are listed below. This is Epic's own report, read every 5 minutes; we don't test the launcher ourselves, and Epic's separate Epic Online Services and Epic Games Website groups are not included. If the store or launcher still fails for you, the problem may be limited to your region, account or connection, or be one Epic hasn't confirmed yet.

Epic Games outage history.
Our calculation: our archive of Epic's records holds 6 resolved Epic Games incidents with a measurable duration since 24 Mar 2026 (incidents resolved in under a minute are left out). The median time from the start time Epic lists to "resolved" was 38h 08m, and the components named most often were Download/Installation and Publishing Tools (2 incidents each). Incidents Epic labels with no impact are left out, durations are rounded to the minute, and a long duration is how long the incident stayed open, not proof the service was down the whole time.

Source: Epic Games incident history . Impact is Epic's own label. Durations run from the start time Epic lists to its "resolved" post; incidents resolved in under a minute are left out of the summary. We keep every record we collect, so this archive grows beyond the 50 items Epic's feed returns at once.
Scheduled downtime is listed separately from unexpected incidents. If an official end time is missing, we show “Ongoing” — never an invented time.

Where the publisher posts maintenance and outage notices:
What to do if Epic Games is down.
- 01Check which store service is affected.
Epic reports Login, Download/Installation, Purchasing/Refunding, Epic Wallet, Store Browsing and three more store services separately. If only Purchasing is degraded, the launcher can open and games can launch while checkout fails.
- 02Game sign-in problems may be a different group.
Many games use Epic Online Services for sign-in, friends and matchmaking. Epic lists those services in a separate Epic Online Services group on its status page, so a green store does not rule out an EOS issue. Fortnite has its own page on this site.
- 03Restart the launcher and sign in again.
If every component is Operational, close the Epic Games Launcher fully (including the tray icon), reopen it and sign in again. A stuck download can resume after a launcher restart.
- 04Test your own connection.
Try another network such as a phone hotspot. A VPN, firewall or security software that blocks the launcher can look like an outage on your side only.
