In total, Epic agreed to pay $245 million to consumers to settle the FTC complaint, in an agreement finalized in March. It will also pay a $275 million penalty to settle allegations it violated the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act Rule. WATCH: Apples fight with Epic Games is part of a larger antitrust battle
