TLDR

Sony agreed to pay 7.85 million dollars to resolve a class-action lawsuit alleging it controlled prices on the PlayStation Store and blocked outside retailers from selling digital codes. Multiple outlets reported the court approved the settlement without determining whether Sony broke any law. The agreement remains subject to a final hearing on October 15. Eligible US consumers who purchased certain games from 2019 through 2023 can file claims for a share of the fund. Sources such as IGN, Insider Gaming, and Push Square published the same figures and timeline from the case filed in 2024.

@GameSpotThe lawsuit, originally filed back in 2024, alleged that Sony established a monopoly over PlayStation Store prices by making publishers “cede control over the final price to Sony” and that Sony “eliminated the last vestiges of price competition when it stopped allowing outside retailers to sell digital download codes that could be redeemed on the PlayStation Store.”
