As America heads into a long holiday weekend for Thanksgiving, one of the most popular games on the planet, Fortnite, is encountering some significant issues. Epic Games has acknowledged server struggles for Fortnite, with players unable to get into the game at all.

"Our team is investigating the issue and we'll follow up once the issue has been resolved," it said. GameSpot attempted to access Fortnite around 2:10 PM ET and could not get into the Epic launcher, let alone access Fortnite.

The issues appear to be related to a log-in bug affecting the Epic Games Store and games that utilize Epic Online Services. "We'll provide an update ASAP as we have more info, and the issue is fixed," the company said.

Reports have also pointed to issues today with other games and gaming services, including Xbox Live, Apex Legends, and Battle.net, among others.
