TLDR

Sony and Microsoft filed motions to dismiss consumer lawsuits seeking tariff refunds on consoles. Their lawyers stated buyers received the hardware they paid for at the time and cannot prove 2025 price hikes resulted from tariffs. The filings follow Nintendo's similar stance in earlier cases. Reports from Game File, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, IGN, PC Gamer and GameSpot confirm the companies reject any obligation to pass refunds onward.
