Earlier today, Fortnite players were reporting an issue with the game's servers saying that they were having a difficult time with the battle royale game on Xbox following Season 6's arrival. Epic Games has just provided an update on their social media accounts stating that they are aware of the problems the Xbox servers are having and are currently working on an active fix.
"We are continuing to investigate crashes occurring on Xbox. We appreciate your patience and will update you once we've resolved the issue," said the team on their Twitter, though a more specific update has not been given at this time.
There is also another reported issue regarding players and their V-bucks, the in-game currency:
We're aware some players are receiving an error message when attempting to purchase Vbucks or their delivery is delayed.
We are investigating this now and are continuing to monitor for any additional issues.
