Fortnite players may have a refund for unwanted purchases

The Federal Trade Commission is issuing more refunds to Fortnite players who it says were charged for unwanted purchases.

The U.S. regulator says it's sending more than 969,000 payments amounting to over $126 million. This is part of a $520 million settlement Epic Games agreed to in 2022, addressing complaints about deceptive practices and children's privacy.

The settlement included $245 million for customer refunds. Between this week's payments and a first round of refunds in December, $198 million of that has been distributed.

Eligible players who haven't received compensation can still file claims until July 9th.
