The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is distributing over 600,000 payments worth $72 million to Fortnite gamers who received unwanted items. If you submitted a valid claim by October 8, 2024, you will receive the payment via the method you originally requested, and it’s essential to cash or accept it promptly.
For those who submitted claims after the deadline, the FTC will review their cases without further action required. However, if you haven’t claimed yet, visit ftc.gov/Fortnite for eligibility information and application instructions. All claims must be submitted by January 10, 2025.
To avoid scams related to this program, be cautious of emails or text messages asking you to pay money to file a claim. Instead, report suspicious activity to ReportFraud.ftc.gov. For more information on the FTC’s Fortnite refunds program, visit ftc.gov/Fortnite.
