Direct answer

NP-34957-8 indicates a PlayStation Network sign-in or connection issue. Check PSN status, test the console connection and restart Fortnite after PSN is operational.

Before you start

Check the live Epic status first. If it is normal, test whether another online game or website works on the same connection before changing Fortnite settings.

Platform note

Avoid changing DNS, NAT or router settings until you have restarted the game and router once. A confirmed Epic incident cannot be repaired from your network.

Fix it step by step

Follow these steps in order. Stop when the code clears; deleting files or resetting accounts should never be the first response.

  1. 1

    Check PlayStation Network status.

  2. 2

    Test the console internet connection.

  3. 3

    Restart Fortnite.

  4. 4

    Sign out of PSN and back in once only if status is normal.

If the code still appears

  1. Take a screenshot that includes the full code and the moment it appears.
  2. Note your platform, Fortnite version, connection type and the steps already completed.
  3. Check the live Fortnite status one more time.
  4. Use Epic Player Support with those details if the problem remains while services are operational.
