Fortnite v21.51 is going to be the last update before Chapter 3 Season 4 and will bring a bunch of bug fixes and optimizations to the game. Epic Games has taken the in-game servers down for maintenance and during this time period, no one will be able to play the game. 

If you are wondering how long you will have to wait for the servers to be back online, here's when the maintenance will end.
