How to Fix ‘Failed to Download Asset Keychain’ Error in Fortnite

When they talk about ‘asset keychain,’ the game means everything you have. This includes your skins, V-Bucks, and any item you have purchased. All of these are on your account, including things that you have earned from Battle Passes.

So, when the error ‘failed to download asset keychain’ arises in Fortnite, it’s understandable you may panic a bit, eager to fix it. Unfortunately, this is a server error. There is not much you can do on your end to resolve the problem. Epic Games typically needs to fix the error on their end.

Otherwise, you can try a few routes if you want to attempt to fix the ‘failed to download asset keychain’ issue in Fortnite.

  • First off, check for an update. Sometimes, the fix is already there, but you’re working on a previous version of the game. An update may very well save you here.
