The new deadline for submitting claims is July 9, 2025. The refunds stem from a settlement with Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite, which agreed to pay $245 million to settle FTC claims that it employed deceptive tactics to lure players into making unwanted purchases.

The FTC issued 629,344 payments to “Fortnite” players in December 2024, a first round of refunds that totaled more than $72 million. In this second round, the FTC says it will send 969,173 checks and PayPal payments between June 25 and June 26 to players who filed a valid claim.

Eligible Fortnite players who felt bamboozled into making unwanted purchases have been given a second chance to request a refund. The Federal Trade Commission has reopened applications to receive refunds from the $245 million settlement that Epic Games reached with the agency until July 9th, after previously closing requests in February.
