The easiest way to find Horde Rush is to go to the “By Epic” row. As long as Horde Rush is around, you’ll be able to play it.
Is Fortnite Horde Rush down?
At launch, Horde Rush in Fortnitemares was down. During that time, you couldn’t play it. Since then, it’s been updated and is back online!

Well, it was online for a bit. Technically, you can still play Horde Rush, but players are reporting matchmaking errors and long queue times. Epic Games has identified this issue and is working to fix it. The only thing you can do now is wait for Epic Games to fix Horde Rush before Halloween is ruined.
Currently, Horde Rush is live but it’s having issues. I recommend staying connected to Fortnite Status on Twitter (or X) to learn about crashes and errors and when things get fixed. That’s how I learned Horde Rush was down at first but is now back up and ready to play if you don’t encounter any issues.
Fortnite Horde Rush start and end dates and times
