The Federal Trade Commission has extended a claims period for players of the popular online video game “Fortnite.” The FTC says eligible consumers can still file a claim until July 9, 2025, if they have not already filed a claim related to a settlement reached last year.

P arents and Fortnite players have two more weeks to apply for a refund from Fortnite maker Epic Games, after the gaming giant was alleged to be violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by the FTC and subsequently entered into a settlement.

The federal agency also said it will reopen its claims portal for payments that stem from a record 2022 settlement it reached with Cary’s Epic Games.
