We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

.@FortniteStatus @Fortnite We appreciate your continued support for the Middle East server.
However, players have been experiencing high ping due to current regional conditions especially after the server relocation to India.
This is significantly impacting performance at a crucial time, with FNCS qualifiers for the Summit LAN approaching ( during next month April 2026 )
We support the community’s request and suggestion to temporarily relocate the server to Riyadh, if possible, until regional conditions improve.
Thank you for your ongoing support. We hope for a quick solution before FNCS begins in less than 10 days.

. @FortniteME @FortniteStatus, As Fortnite players from Egypt and the broader MENA region, we face consistently high latency (often 140+ ping) when routed to servers in India — a location that is geographically and regionally separate from the Middle East.Riot Games successfully did exactly this for VALORANT by establishing dedicated servers in Riyadh. After that, players in Egypt now enjoy around 30 ping, and most Gulf countries — even players from India and Bahrain — are experiencing significantly lower ping than before.We respectfully urge Epic Games to follow the same successful example by adding dedicated servers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This would deliver low-latency gameplay, improve competitive fairness, and greatly enhance the experience for thousands of players across Egypt, the Gulf, and the entire Middle East.Thank you for your attention and continued investment in the global community!
