Epic Games didn't share any specific numbers for the amount of players who experienced the launch of Chapter 3, leaving us wondering how many players it takes to slow down Fortnite's servers. It's presumed that the reason this happened was because of the launch day being on a Sunday, allowing most children to play the update on the day of its release for the first time.
The server issues were fixed five hours later, allowing more players to experience Chapter 3 without any problems.
The delay or disconnect issues with log-ins, purchases, partying, and matchmaking should now be resolved and players are all clear to jump into Chapter 3. pic.twitter.com/bxyqG2l50T
