The FTC now offers a form that can be filled out if you believe you're owed a refund.

Epic Games, the studio behind Fortnite, has been officially ordered to pay $245 million in refunds to players. This order comes from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after the government body ruled that Epic Games utilized confusing button configurations that "tricked" players into making unwanted purchases.

This $245 million refund is part of a settlement Epic Games made...

It's a pretty big release day for a lot of games.

Let's just get this all out of the way now, because otherwise there would be a separate news post for all of this and I'm not about that life today. Apparently, February 28th is the day that publishers and developers were like, "Yeah, that date is a great time to get a new season/game/update out to everyone!"

We've got some Destiny 2: Lightfall, there's new Battlefield 2042 content, there's Catan, Fallout 76 got a big new...

It's Geralt, with a gun!

CD Projekt Red and Epic Games have teamed up to offer The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia as a new unlockable skin in Fortnite. Now that he's done slaying monsters, Geralt looks to slay characters from the roughly billion other IPs present in Fortnite.

Those that own the Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass will get access to a series of quests that will net players various Witcher themed items. These items include Geralt himself, his swords as Back Bling,...

Cabined Accounts will create a safer and more inclusive place for younger gamers to play.

Epic Games just announced a new type of Epic account that will offer "a tailored experience that is safe and inclusive for younger players." They're called Cabined Accounts and they will let children play Fortnite without having to deal with the larger, and often not very "PG," community.

Epic says that players all around the world will see a one-time request for...

Doom Slayer, Geralt, motor bikes, augments, and so much more.

Yesterday, the third chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale came to an end. Today, Chapter 4 launched with yet another major update to the map, a new Battle Pass, new gear, new unlocks, new cosmetics, and everything else.

On the surface, one of the most apparent changes in this new chapter is the move to Unreal Engine 5.1. Epic Games also included some new ways to get around the map that include a dirt bike, rolling...

A big engine update just arrived.

Today marked the release of Chapter 4 for the battle royale portion of Fortnite. Today also includes a big update to the game's engine which brings Fortnite up to Unreal Engine version 5.1. I felt as though this was a significant enough update to warrant a separate news post away from the other Chapter 4 news (still to come).

With this rather significant engine bump comes a lot of new visual features and changes. Epic Games outlined these...

Is Rick and Morty now part of the Star Wars universe?

No, the answer is no. Despite a free Pickle Rick item being added to Fortnite the same week they are selling a bunch of Star Wars skins, it does not mean Rick and Morty are party of the Star Wars universe.

This week, Epic is celebrating at least one particular family in Star Wars. For the next several days, you can enjoy Skywalker Week. During this limited time event, you'll be able to pick up various Star Wars player...

Assuming some leaks and rumors are to be believed.

Several little snippets of leaks are adding up to suggest that Lady Gaga will be the next major concert event coming to Fortnite. The most recent piece of evidence pointing at this becoming a reality comes from a major Fortnite leak and datamining Twitter account, FNLeaksAndInfo.

On their Twitter is an audio clip for an emote named "Jug Band." Jug Band is one of those synced emotes that, as more people join in,...

Now you can be even more of a ninja while wearing an anime ninja skin.

The V21.50 update for Fortnite released early this morning. The update included just a few fixes along with the return of some older items that were vaulted. The returning items will go a long way to really driving home that dream of being a ninja.

The returning items are set to play a role in the upcoming "Shadow of Phantasm Week." The weapons include a Suppressed Assault Rifle, Suppressed...

Swing through a neon-soaked city on Neptune.

Earlier, Bungie showed off the first look at the next Destiny 2 expansion, Lightfall. The new expansion will be out on February 28, 2023 and will be the "penultimate chapter of Destiny 2's Light and Darkness saga." This expansion will obviously continue the overarching story that started back with the original Destiny.

In Lightfall, players will go up against Calus, the former emperor of the Cabal. Oh, and the Pyramid...

The long-rumored and long-awaited collab kicks off next week.

A Fortnite collaboration with Dragon Ball has been a long time coming for some fans. The collab was rumored for several weeks now if not several months, but it's now almost here. Epic Games confirmed that on August 16 a collaboration will kick off that will bring some manner of Dragon Ball into Fortnite.

Though the tweet is vague to those of us who zero idea about anything Dragon Ball related, it sure got a...

Plus new styles for Battle Pass outfits, looking for group, and more.

While Vader's Lightsaber is not a part of the Season...

This is perhaps not the FPS from Epic you were looking for.

Epic Games is no stranger to first-person shooters, what with them having made several of them with the Unreal franchise and all. Lately, their real bread and butter has been found in Fortnite, a game that is very much not an FPS.

That might be changing in the near future. Known Fortnite data miner and leaker, HYPEX, shared that Epic Games is developing a first-person camera mode for their battle royale.
