Sony is set to pay out nearly $8 million to PlayStation customers as part of a settlement regarding digital game prices. The settlement (via IGN) comes after Sony’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit was denied, and settlement class members across a more-than-four-year period are potentially eligible for a payment.
The 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.”
