Why such a long wait time?

Hi Christopher V, my name is Jose and it is my pleasure to help you.

As a player, I completely understand what you mean, but you must keep in mind that the queue cannot be skipped. The delay is due to the servers, to get a little more information I did a little research and found that Fortnite handles and manages the queue, not Xbox. Therefore, it would be a developer problem.

After telling you this, keep in mind that we are in a Microsoft public forum where we are players like you who try to solve other players' problems, such as problems with controls, consoles and basic things, so this means that we do not belong to Microsoft.

You can take a look at this community thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/a93bfe04-0b09-43a1-84d0-0fcc55ac7b8e

Thank you for your attention, if you need more help I will be waiting for your response.

Greetings,
Jose.

I'm afraid there are many people trying to use the servers, you either have to wait or acquire a compatible device. There is no fix for this, and support cannot create more servers.

This is a beta service available free to fortnite players, and only so many resources can be devoted to that pool

When It gets to the end it doesn't load up fortnite it shows up as "sorry queue is longer than expected" and I wanna play the new season but I cant because of this and if I go on the actual fortnite app my game crashes because old tablet

I have a wait time of 80 MINS HOLY NUTS

any way you can fix it, i legit have wait times of 200+ minutes
