We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to Epic Rewards that gives you faster access to what you’ve earned.
Starting today, players will receive Epic Rewards instantly when purchasing eligible content like virtual currency and subscriptions. That means more of your rewards, right when you want to use them.
What’s Changing?
Until now, Epic Rewards were added to your account 14 days after a purchase, in line with our standard refund window. With this update, we’re now granting instant Epic Rewards for purchases that are classified as non-refundable, including:
- Virtual Currency (such as V-bucks or other in-game currency)
- Subscriptions (like Fortnite Crew)
This means you’ll see your rewards balance update instantly after your purchase — no more waiting before spending them on your next game, add-on, or in-game content.
For everything else — like paid games or DLC — your Epic Rewards will still be granted 14 days after purchase. This gives you time to request a refund if you change your mind.
We’ll always make it clear which purchases are eligible for instant rewards vs. those that follow the standard timing.
We believe great rewards should feel rewarding. That’s why we’re giving you more power to earn faster.

Thanks for being part of the Epic Games community. More great updates are coming soon!
Don’t forget, Epic Rewards are 20% for Epic-owned titles!
When you make a purchase in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys using Epic’s payment system globally on PC, iOS, Android, and the web, you’ll get 20% back in Epic Rewards.
For all other purchases made on the Epic Games Store, our 20% boost will remain through August 31. This includes games, add-ons, and subscriptions from other companies.
