The FTC is sending 629,344 payments totaling more than $72 million to Fortnite players in the U.S. who were charged for unwanted purchases and filed a valid claim by October 8, 2024.

If you filed a claim after October 8, you don’t need to do anything else right now. The FTC is still reviewing claims filed after that date and will provide more information soon. Epic Games, the company responsible for Fortnite, agreed to pay money to settle FTC allegations related to in-game purchases.

According to the FTC, the company unlawfully charged players for unwanted purchases, let children rack up unauthorized charges without their parents’ permission, and blocked some users who disputed wrongful charges from accessing their purchased content.
