Epic can change these Terms at any time, and if you keep using Epic's games after the new Terms take effect, you are treated as having agreed to the new Terms even if you did not read them.
This analysis describes what Epic Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Continued use of Fortnite or any other Epic game after a Terms update constitutes acceptance of the new Terms, which means users who do not monitor for changes may inadvertently agree to new conditions that reduce their rights or expand Epic's permissions.
This new provision formalizes Epic's unilateral right to modify terms with only advance notice for material changes, giving users limited practical recourse beyond account deletion.

"We may change these Terms from time to time for reasons including to reflect changes in our services, technology, the law, or other reasons. If we make changes, we will post the updated Terms and update the effective date. If we make material changes, we will take steps to notify you in advance. If you don't agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using Licensed Products and may delete your Epic Games Account. Your continued use of any Licensed Products after the revised Terms have gone into effect is your acceptance of the updated Terms.— Excerpt from Epic Games's Epic Games Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Continued-use acceptance mechanisms for contract modifications are subject to scrutiny in consumer protection frameworks in the EU and UK, where consumer contracts generally require meaningful consent to modifications rather than passive acceptance through continued use. GDPR may require specific consent for material changes to data processing practices rather than allowing continued use to serve as consent. In the U.S., the enforceability of modification-through-continued-use clauses is generally upheld but may face challenge where changes are material and notice was insufficient. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The adequacy of notice provided for material changes will be a key factor in whether modifications are enforceable, particularly in EU and UK markets. The agreement commits to taking steps to notify users of material changes in advance, but the method and prominence of such notification is not specified in the text provided, creating potential for dispute about whether adequate notice was given. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK consumer protection law imposes stronger requirements for meaningful consent to contract modifications than U.S. law. Platform operators in the EU have faced enforcement action for using continued use as the sole mechanism for obtaining consent to material changes in terms. California consumers may also benefit from additional protections under state law regarding modification of consumer contracts. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that use Epic services operationally should implement a monitoring process for Terms updates to ensure they are aware of material changes before they take effect. The right to modify Terms creates uncertainty in long-term operational planning, particularly for developers who build on Epic's platforms. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Epic's notification mechanism for material changes satisfies the requirements of applicable consumer protection law in key markets, and whether any specific changes to data processing terms require separate GDPR-compliant consent rather than continued-use acceptance. Periodic review of Epic's Terms for material changes should be incorporated into compliance monitoring schedules.
