The Federal Trade Commission is sending out over 600,000 payments worth $72 million to Fortnite gamers charged for unwanted items. If you submitted a valid claim by October 8, 2024, you’ll get the payment via the method you requested. If you get a check, cash it within 90 days. If you get a PayPal payment, accept it within 30 days. You don’t need to do anything else to get your payment. If you submitted a claim after October 8, 2024, the FTC will review your claim. You don’t need to do anything else. If you think you’re eligible for a refund and haven’t already submitted a claim, go to ftc.gov/Fortnite to learn if you’re eligible and how to apply. All claims are due by Friday, January 10, 2025. Avoid scams related to the Fortnite refunds program. The FTC will never ask you to pay money to file a claim. If you get an email or text message that tells you to click a link or pay to get your refund, it’s a scam. Report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
