Fortnite servers are currently offline for the v38.10 update, which brings a major expansion of the game's ongoing Simpsons collaboration. The downtime began at 9:00 AM UTC on November 11, 2025, and servers are expected to return by 10:30 AM UTC. For US players, that's approximately 5:30 AM Eastern Time (ET).
Epic Games has confirmed that matchmaking shut down a few minutes before maintenance began, a standard procedure for significant updates. The v38.10 patch introduces several exciting features, including:
- Moe Skin: The beloved bartender, Moe Szyslak, is joining the Item Shop.
- Spider-Pig (Plopper): Homer's iconic sidekick becomes a new companion you can equip.
- Falling Donuts: A unique gameplay effect linked to Homer's Zero Shard Remote.
- Homer Clones: Another new mechanic, possibly rolling out later in the week.
- Hidden Files: Dataminers have discovered early Stranger Things crossover cosmetics in the new build.
Epic describes this as the 'biggest Simpsons content drop yet,' suggesting the collaboration may extend into late November. Once servers are back online, players can expect a seamless experience, with all progress, Battle Pass levels, and items remaining intact.
The update also hints at a potential Stranger Things collaboration later this month, as new files suggest a significant event is on the horizon. With the v38.10 patch, fans are eagerly anticipating what's next.
