FTC reopens refunds for players affected by unwanted purchases in Fortnite

The US Federal Trade Commission has reopened its process for Fortnite players to claim refunds for unwanted purchases.

The FTC said it provided over $126 million in compensation last week, having sent 969,173 checks and PayPal payments to those who filed a valid claim.

Those who have not yet submitted a claim can do so by July 9, 2025.

Last December, the FTC issued its first round of refunds providing more than $72 million in payments.

Overall, the FTC has issued over $200 million to players affected by deceptive practices used by Epic Games.

In 2022, the agency reached a settlement of $520 million with Epic for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and dark patterns tactics.
