// What happened

Nothing’s wrong with Epic Games that Isitreallydown? can see right now, and things appear to be working for most people. Epic’s official status page shows “All Systems Operational,” DNS is resolving normally, and there are no user reports in the last hour. Confidence is only medium because Isitreallydown?’s synthetic checks haven’t been run recently, so small or component-specific issues could still slip through. Epic’s official status page is also listing scheduled maintenance for “EOS Maintenance (Sessions and Lobbies)” on 2026-05-26, affecting the Lobbies and Sessions components.
