An intriguing aspect of this situation is that Epic Games’ status page assures that all game services are currently operational. Furthermore, the official Fortnite Twitter account has not addressed this particular login error.
While closing and reopening the Fortnite application or completely restarting the PS4 console may potentially resolve the login issue, there is no guarantee of success.
For those struggling with logging into Fortnite on PS4, it is advised to monitor Epic Games’ status page for any updates regarding this problem.
Update July 28 6:15pm CT: Epic Games has acknowledged and tweeted that they are investigating an issue affecting the login process for many PS4 players.
