Fortnite’s official Twitter account also chimed in, saying the issue was mainly affecting PC and Mac players.
The application shows just after the home screen a ‘500 Error’ flash with a ‘Back to Home’ button. One of the users also reported that their default language in the application also changed in error and he had to restart the app just to get it back.
The basic “GTA V” game for consoles and PCs typically costs $30. To just let you know GTA V will be free to download in the Epic Store until May 21.
