The $245 million settlement with Fortnite developer Epic was announced back in March. It’s actually part of a larger $520 million settlement.

Speaking of cosmetics, Fortnite currently has a My Hero Academia event with three new skins. In addition, the battle royale game is celebrating its sixth birthday.
