Players of Fortnite can now get refunds for items linked to the singer D4vd after many people raised concerns online. The issue started when new details emerged in a criminal case involving the artist. Many players were upset that his items remained in the game and asked Epic Games to remove everything related to him. In response, Epic has taken the first step by allowing refunds.
Epic Games Announces Refund Process
Epic shared this update on April 26 through its official Fortnite Status account. The company stated that players will be able to use a simple self-service option starting April 28 to get their V-Bucks back. It also mentioned that players do not have to wait until then; anyone who wants a refund immediately can contact player support for assistance. This move made many players feel heard, but questions still linger.
Fortnite Refunds D4vd Cosmetics but Removal Decision Remains Unclear
The cosmetics linked to D4vd include Jam Tracks like "Locked and Loaded" and "What Are You Waiting For," along with emotes such as "Feel It" and "Trophy Drop." These items were part of a special bundle released in April 2025. Even after the backlash began, these items stayed in the game, which further upset players. While Epic Games has confirmed refunds, it has not stated whether these items will be removed completely. Currently, it is unclear if they will disappear from player lockers or simply stop appearing in the Item Shop. Epic only mentioned that "a bunch of changes" will come over time, but it did not provide full details.
Ongoing Legal Case and Uncertain Future
The case involving D4vd is still ongoing. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyer has asserted that he did not commit the crime. Because of this, Epic may be waiting before making a final decision about the items. For now, players who feel uncomfortable can easily get their V-Bucks back. However, the bigger question remains unanswered: Will Epic remove D4vd from Fortnite completely, or will it gradually distance itself from the collaboration?
