India, Nov. 2 -- Fortnite players are hitting roadblocks as servers remain offline for the highly anticipated Simpsons mini-season launch, with widespread reports of 'Unable to sign into PlayStation Network' and Xbox login failures. The downtime, which kicked off after the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" live event on Saturday, has frustrated thousands of users.

Epic Games said that it is investigating the issue. "We're investigating reports of players loading into matches without equipped Outfits, as well as other functionality issues like Locker loadouts, Party invites, and Friends Lists not working correctly."

Earlier in the day, Epic Games confirmed the maintenance via @FortniteStatus on X, stating it's for update v38.00.
