It’s always a particularly exciting time whenever a Fortnite season comes to an end or Epic Games hosts a live event. During these times, players tend to try to get into the game at the same time, and this often has negative consequences, as the servers get overwhelmed.
When Is the Fortnite OG Live Event?
Fortnite Season OG is going out with a bang, and here’s when players should tune in to participate in the event.
Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for players to be unable to start Fortnite once a new season launches or when a big event goes live. This guide will explain why some gamers are encountering a queue when trying to boot up Fortnite, and it’ll also teach them a trick that might be able to get them into the game earlier.

Why Is There a Login Queue?
It’s normal for Fortnite players to get login issues whenever a season comes around or it’s time to watch a live event. Since many fans are trying to get into the game at once, the servers get overloaded, and this results in some players having to wait for an opportunity to enter the game.
Queue times are particularly extensive this time around because many players want to try out experience The Big Bang live event. Fortnite hasn’t had a live event in a while, and not only will this The Big Bang event close Season OG, but gamers will also be able to watch an Eminem concert live.
How to Watch The Big Bang Live Event
Since The Big Bang live event had such an extensive queue time, Epic Games will be adding two additional showings of the event after the original release time at 2 PM ET. So far, it has not been revealed when the event will be available after this time but players can expect more information soon.
Players who continue to have an issue trying to log into the game might have to resort to watching it live on Twitch or Youtube. Gamers who planned on watching it live to unlock the Marshall Magma style for Marshall Mathers might be in a bit of a pickle. However, it is possible that Epic Games might give it away to everyone to make up for this unexpected issue.
