The blue screen error is annoying, especially when you can hear the sounds taunting you while you cannot play. There seems to be an easy fix for this by forcing a power cycle and clearing the cache, but this doesn't work for everyone and not every time.

That said, give this a try to fix the Fortnite stuck on blue screen issue for Xbox.

  • Press and hold the Xbox power button.
  • Unplug the power cord when it turns off.
  • Leave unplugged for at least a minute.

What causes Fortnite to get stuck on blue screen?

I've personally encountered the infamous blue screen more after the Chapter Four Season Three update, but it has occurred before. While the cause of the issue isn't exact, it typically happens at start-up.

One way you can prevent Fortnite from getting stuck on the blue screen is by shutting Fortnite down each time you finish playing. Leaving it in a suspended state seems to increase the odds of a blue screen happening.
