Luckily, Epic Games seems to well on the way to satiating that need and, if servers do indeed end up going live in all of these locations, improving the matchmaking experience for players all around the world.
Epic Games uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for all of Fortnite’s online infrastructure and all servers run on the AWS cloud server, which is why events like Season 4’s rocket launch are able to happen successfully around the world at the same time.

- Seoul
- Singapore

- London
- Oregon
- Paris
