Fortnite and Rocket League players have until April 26, 2021, to claim up to $50 or in-game credits as part of a $26.5 million settlement resolving an Epic Games class action lawsuit.
The Epic Games class action lawsuit accused Epic Games of violating consumer protection laws, negligently misrepresenting in-game items’ value in Fortnite and Rocket League, and preventing minors from exercising contractual disaffirmation rights.
Eligible Class Members are anyone in the United States who, at any point between July 1, 2015, and Feb. 25, 2021, had a Fortnite or Rocket League account they used to play either game on any device, in any mode, and exchanged in-game virtual currency for an in-game benefit, or who purchased virtual currency or other in-game benefits for use within Fortnite or Rocket League.
Class Members filing valid claims can receive up to $50 or 1,000 Fortnite V-Bucks or Rocket League credits.
Epic Games is automatically depositing 1,000 V-Bucks — Fortnite’s virtual currency — or 1,000 Rocket League Credits into the accounts of U.S. players who purchased a random-item loot box.
In addition to those credits, players who believe they were harmed by their in-game Fortnite or Rocket League purchases and meet certain criteria may also file a claim up to $50 in cash or 13,500 Fortnite V-Bucks or Rocket League credits.
Such harm may have taken the form of consumer fraud, breach of contract, or other damages, according to the settlement website.
Consumers also may file a claim if they wish to obtain a partial refund for a real-money purchase of virtual currency or other in-game Fortnite or Rocket League items if the purchase was made by a minor with their own money without parental permission.
Those who submit a claim for a partial refund do not need to demonstrate any additional harm or damages, but must disclose the Epic Games accounts opened by the minor.
More information on submitting a claim is available on the claim instructions page of the settlement site.
Epic Games has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, and a court has not issued a ruling against the company in this case.
A final approval hearing is scheduled for May 6, 2021.
The deadline for consumers to object to or exclude themselves from the Fortnite and Rocket League settlement is April 12, 2021.
The deadline to file a claim is April 26, 2021.
