The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States has reopened the application process for Fortnite users to request refunds for purchases they did not intend to make.
According to the FTC's announcement, more than $126 million was distributed last week, with 969,173 refunds processed through checks and PayPal settlements for those with approved claims.
Players who have not yet submitted their claims have until July 9, 2025, to do so.
In a previous phase last December, the FTC initiated refunds, amounting to over $72 million.
To date, over $200 million has been returned to players who suffered from misleading behaviors attributed to Epic Games.
In 2022, a settlement amounting to $520 million was reached between the FTC and Epic, as a result of violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and use of manipulative design strategies.
