Fortnite is not shutting down in 2023 or any time in the foreseeable future. While the game might have peaked in popularity, it’s still making billions a year for Epic Games. So anyone who claims that the game is in danger of shutting down is either outright lying or has no clue what they’re talking about.
Will Epic Games shut down the Fortnite servers in 2023?
Epic Games isn’t shutting down Fortnite in 2023. If this were happening, every news publication on planet Earth would be reporting about it. Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and every other social media platform would be ablaze with people talking about the game. Since we’re starting to slide into 2023, you can expect people to start revisiting this topic as they do every year. So, if you see some random YouTuber sharing a screenshot of a tweet or an email, they’re lying for clicks.
There’s no reason for Epic Games to shut down Fortnite. The game is still printing money and continues to have major collaborations with TV shows, movies, musicians, brands, and more. In addition, the game has continued to evolve, and new features like the creative island and no-build matches have kept things fresh over time. So, don’t expect to see the end of this game for a long, long time.
