Fortnite Super Showdown live event date, time, and more
Image via Epic Games. We are at the very horizon of Chapter 6 Season 3 in Fortnite. This season was totally based on the 'superhero' theme, with subsequent contents like Superman, The Fantastic Four, and many more. So, it was quite obvious that Fortnite wanted to end this season with another superhero banger, like the Super Showdown live event. Fortnite live event is a real treat to its fans, bringing them into a spectacular but synchronised experience. Such events are generally hosted at closing moments of any season for further lore progression. Let's see what Fortnite has to reveal after its Supernova Academy lore based Season 3. Everything you need to know about the Fortnite Super Showdown live event Fortnite has recently announced from its official Twitter handle that it is going to host the Super Showdown live event on August 2, 2025, at 2:30 PM ET. This event will most probably bring Daigo's master plan to light as the game's lore might progress with the highly anticipated kaiju-esque creature named Kraken summoned by Daigo himself. As of now, Fortnite hasn't yet revealed any further detail about the event, like how it is connected to the superhero theme of the current season. Players will be able to start matchmaking in this event 30 minutes prior to the actual start of the event. That means that this event will take place in a different map rather than the general battle royale map. According to certain rumors, this place is going to be the Demon's Domain, which is the corrupted stronghold of Diago. Players are advised to queue up at least 30 minutes early before the start of the event to get away from crashes and minimize the chances of actually missing out on this highly anticipated event. This event can be found under the Discover tab in the game on 2:00 PM ET on August 2. The Fortnite Super Showdown live event is going to last for approximately 15 minutes, so players should be alert before joining this event as it's non-repeatable. That means, once this event ends, players won't be able to join it again. Read More: When will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime?

When will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime?
Image via Epic Games. After the previous patch which implemented new contents like the Superman crossover, permanent Blitz Royale mode, and many more, Fortnite is gearing up for yet another patch update, this time it's v36.30. As we are nearing the end of Chapter 6 Season 3, a new patch update was quite evident, and v36.30 is going to be the last one in this season. If any new mini season doesn't drop, we will soon take entry into the last stage of Chapter 6. Fortnite v36.30 server downtime schedule As the game's name suggests, Fortnite gets a patch update every two weeks, just like it got the v36.20 patch on July 15 . Coming from the summer break, it's been some busy times for the Fortnite developers as another patch is coming in its way. As it's a patch update, hence Fortnite servers will go offline for sometime to implement v36.30. In a post by the official Twitter handle of Fortnite Status, Epic Games has recently confirmed that the downtime for v36.30 will begin at 4 AM ET/ 1 AM PT/ 8 AM UTC on Tuesday, July 30, 2025. — FortniteStatus (@FortniteStatus) Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes before the start of downtime, which is around 3:30 AM ET, and players are advised to stay from entering a match around that time because their matches can unexpectedly end midway. Now the main question is, when will the Fortnite servers come back online after v36.30 downtime? Unlike the previous one, v36.30 patch is going to be a standard regulatory update and downtime shouldn't take longer than expected. As of now, no content is confirmed through this patch update, so the downtime might last for two to three hours. That means fans can expect the servers to get online at around 7 AM ET/ 1 AM PT/ 8 AM UTC on Tuesday, July 30, 2025. However, this deduction comes from previous downtime timelines, so discrepancies can happen at any time based on location, platform, and server. Hence, players should be patient until the downtime ends. However, after the patch is implemented, fans can return back to the fields of Fortnite immediately.
