Check another site
If Epic Games is down for you
Reload once, then try another network such as mobile data. If it works there, your connection, DNS resolver or a browser extension is the likely cause. If the check above says it is down too, the problem is the site’s, and waiting or following its status page is all anyone outside can do. The guides to HTTP and network errors explain each error message a browser shows.
Where the check runs from
One request from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network. That is enough to tell a site that is down for everyone from one that is down for you, but it cannot tell a regional outage from a global one. A result is reused for up to a minute and refreshed in the background after that; the time of the check is printed beside it.

Is Epic Games down right now?
The check at the top of this page answers that: Uptimely requests epicgames.com from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network, reuses the answer for up to 60 seconds and refreshes it in the background when you load the page later, and reports whether the server answered, with what status and how fast. The time of the check is printed beside the result. If it says up but the site does not load for you, the problem is most likely between you and the site rather than the site itself.
Does Epic Games have an official status page?
Yes: https://status.epicgames.com. It lists the incidents Epic Games's own team has confirmed, with their updates. The check on this page is independent of it: we request epicgames.com ourselves, so the two can disagree for a few minutes while Epic Games confirms a problem, or when a problem is regional and never reaches its status page.
What does a Epic Games outage usually look like?
Sign-in fails, matchmaking or lobbies will not connect, the store or friends list is unreachable, and sessions drop. A single game's servers can be down while the platform is up.
Why is Epic Games not working for me when the check says it is up?
The check runs from one location: Uptimely's own checker, outside your network, not from several regions. A site can be reachable from there and still fail for you because of your own network, your DNS resolver, a browser extension, an outage in your region, or a problem with your account rather than the whole service. Try another network (such as mobile data), clear the browser cache, and check the service's own status page for regional or partial incidents.
What does a 4xx or 5xx answer mean?
A 5xx status (500, 502, 503, 504) is a server-side error: the site is reachable but failing, and the check reports it as down. A 4xx status (403, 404, 429) means the server is up and answered, but refused or could not find the request. Some sites answer automated checks with 403 or 429 while working normally in a browser.
How can I get an alert when Epic Games goes down?
Create a free Uptimely account and add epicgames.com as a Website monitor. Uptimely checks it every minute and alerts you by email, SMS, phone call, Slack, Discord or browser push when it stops answering. The Free plan includes 10 monitors with no credit card.
Can I run this check from a script or an AI agent?
Yes. GET https://getuptimely.com/api/tools/check?url=epicgames.com answers the same check as JSON, or as Markdown with the header Accept: text/markdown. It needs no API key and allows 30 calls a minute from one address.
