FTC sending $126M in ‘Fortnite’ refunds to U.S. players

The FTC is handing out $126 million in “Fortnite” refunds after years of shady charges, surprise bills, and retaliatory bans. Here’s how to get yours.

Nearly one million Fortnite players are getting refunds totaling $126 million. The payouts address years of unauthorized charges and access restrictions tied to billing disputes.

This round of payouts is for those who submitted a valid claim before February 14, 2025. The FTC is currently reviewing claims that were made after February 14 and will provide information to claimants at a later date.

In addition to the payout, Epic now has to get positive consent before charging users, and may no longer lock players out of accounts for disputing charges.

For more information related to payouts, you can head to the Fortnite Refunds page.

The FTC also urges affected users to file claims via the Fortnite Refund form. The deadline to file is July 9, 2025.

The following scenarios are eligible to apply for a refund:

  • Players who were charged in-game currency for items they didn’t want between January 2017 and September 2022
  • Unauthorized in-game purchases made by a minor using a parent’s credit card between January 2017 and November 2018
  • Players whose accounts were locked between January 2017 and September 2022 after submitting wrongful charge claims with their credit card company

Those who are applying for a refund must live in the U.S. and be 18 years or older. Parents and guardians may complete claim forms for those who are under 18.

Players will get refunds either by check or PayPal payment. Payout amounts will depend on several factors, including how many people file a claim.

“Fortnite” only recently returned to iPhone after a nearly five-year ban from the App Store. August of 2020, Epic willingly violated Apple’s App Store rules by allowing players the option to purchase Fortnite’s in-game currency directly from Epic.
