Overview

• This week’s payments will cover 969,173 claims and be delivered via PayPal or mailed checks.
• The payouts are the second batch since December and stem from a 2022 settlement requiring Epic Games to pay $245 million over deceptive billing practices.
• Regulators said Epic employed ‘dark patterns’ that triggered unwanted charges when players exited sleep mode or previewed items.
• With December’s $72 million round factored in, nearly $200 million has now been returned to affected players and families.
• Eligible claimants must be at least 18 or have a guardian file on their behalf to secure refunds before the July 9 deadline.
