Epic Games has confirmed that it will offer "self-service" refunds on D4vd cosmetics in Fortnite. The move comes after the singer, real name David Anthony Burke, was charged with the first-degree murder of a 14-year-old girl who went missing in 2024. At this point, however, Epic has not indicated that the cosmetics will be removed from Fortnite entirely.

"We hear the concerns," Epic said via the Fortnite Status account on X, confirming a report of a previously processed refund. "We have a bunch of changes we’re rolling out over time. The first one will be available on Tuesday April 28th, when anyone who purchased one of these items will be able to get an immediate self-service refund. And, right now, players who request refunds for D4vd cosmetics via player support can be refunded."
