Last updated: April 28, 2026 · By Class Action Buddy
Epic Games, the creator of the massively popular Fortnite video game, has faced two major class action settlements totaling nearly $200 million in consumer refunds. The largest settlement involves $126 million in refunds for Fortnite players who were charged for unwanted purchases or had difficulty canceling subscriptions, with a claim deadline that passed in July 2025. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission distributed $72 million in direct payments to affected Fortnite users, with that program's deadline expiring in January 2025. These settlements specifically addressed concerns about deceptive billing practices and unauthorized charges within the game's virtual currency system. Both Epic Games settlements required proof of purchase or account information to validate claims. The $126 million settlement covered various billing issues including accidental purchases made by children, difficulty obtaining refunds, and subscription charges that were hard to cancel. The FTC's separate $72 million distribution focused on users who were charged without authorization or faced barriers when seeking refunds through Epic's customer service channels. While both settlement claim periods have now closed, they represent significant wins for consumers dealing with digital gaming billing disputes. Class Action Buddy helps users track and file claims for settlements like these, making the complex claims process straightforward and manageable.
