Fortnite’s woes continue as the new Playground LTM remains offline and matchmaking across the game stumbles.
Yesterday Epic Games pushed the Playgrounds LTM live along with new weapons and other tweaks, but it wasn’t long before the inevitable happened.
Playground LTM lets up to four players build and craft in a relatively safe space. Unfortunately, the servers couldn’t handle the volume of players, resulting in massive queues. After less than two hours online, Epic took the Playground mode offline as it began maintenance.
It remains offline now, with Epic promising an update today.
“We know you want to get back out to the Playground LTM. We’ve got multiple teams working to get this mode back into your hands so you can let your imaginations run wild,” said Epic on Reddit.
“We want to inform you that the Playground LTM will remain closed for repairs for the night. We’ll have more information available tomorrow.”
However, it seems unlikely Playgrounds will return today, as Week 9 Challenges start, giving players plenty of tasks to keep them occupied.
Players are currently struggling with matchmaking in Fortnite, leaving only Solo play guaranteed. Epic claims the matchmaking problems are over, although we’re still experiencing issues on PS4 and Xbox One.
It has already pushed a patch live for PC players, with more patches expected imminently.
We’ve just released a patch for PC players to fix stability and performance issues due to a memory leak introduced with the v4.5 release.

Fortnite is a live game with daily and weekly updates, so any problems are there for all to see. It has struggled publicly with recent updates – shopping carts, introduced as the second vehicle after jetpacks, have been on and offline multiple times.
If players are getting a little tired of the drama, they can look forward to the launch of Fortnite Season 5 next month, as Epic has confirmed the launch date and time.
