Sony expected to pay US customers $7.8m in PlayStation Store settlement
Sony Interactive Entertainment is expected to pay US customers $7.8 million in refunds as part of a proposed settlement for a lawsuit alleging antitrust practices on the PlayStation Store. The lawsuit claims Sony monopolized the digital game market by selling titles through game-specific vouchers, preventing purchases from third-party retailers. Customers who bought eligible digital games on the PlayStation Store between April 2019 and December 2023 may receive cash-value PlayStation Network account credits.
