Epic Offers Self-Service Refunds for D4vd Fortnite Items Starting Tuesday

The step signals a cautious approach to past collaborations following severe criminal charges against the singer.

Overview

  • Fortnite will enable immediate self-service refunds for D4vd-linked cosmetics on Tuesday, April 28, after the Fortnite Status account confirmed the change on Sunday.
  • Players who contact Epic’s support can already get refunds, with user reports showing some requests processed ahead of the self-service option.
  • Epic has not committed to removing the items from the game, so owners can still use the Feel It emote, two jam tracks, and content from the artist’s Locker Bundle.
  • Refunds may be complex for some accounts and bundles, since the Locker Bundle mixed D4vd’s selections with unrelated premium cosmetics, and some items were earned in events.
  • The action follows active charges against David “D4vd” Burke, who pleaded not guilty and is held without bail, as prosecutors allege a large cache of child sexual abuse material and industry partners remove his music.
