Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- A class-action lawsuit against Sony Interactive Entertainment has led to a potential $7.85 million settlement for PS5 customers, pending court approval in October.
- The lawsuit centers on Sony restricting digital game purchases to the PS Store only, eliminating the option to buy digital vouchers from other retailers.
- This issue gains significance as Sony plans to stop producing physical game discs by early 2028, increasing reliance on digital purchases.
- Sony denies any antitrust violations, and the court has yet to rule on the legality of its actions.
- Eligible U.S. customers who bought digital games from the PS Store between April 2019 and December 2023 may receive compensation via their PSN account or cash if the account is inactive.
