Sony Interactive Entertainment agreed to a $7.85 million class action settlement to resolve claims it violated federal antitrust laws by monopolizing the PlayStation digital game market.
The PlayStation settlement benefits consumers who purchased one or more digital video games through the PlayStation Store between April 1, 2019, and Dec. 31, 2023, for which a game-specific voucher was available at retail prior to April 1, 2019, and for which a total of at least 200 game-specific voucher redemptions were made prior to April 1, 2019, and for which the post-discount price increased by at least 50 cents between Jan. 1, 2017, and March 31, 2019, compared to the period between April 1, 2019, and Dec. 31, 2023.
A list of eligible games can be found on the settlement website.
According to the class action lawsuit, Sony violated federal antitrust laws by monopolizing the PlayStation digital game market. As a result of this alleged antitrust violation, consumers were forced to pay more for digital games than they otherwise would have, the plaintiffs contend.
Sony Interactive Entertainment is a video game company that develops and sells PlayStation consoles and games.
Sony has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $7.85 million class action settlement to resolve the antitrust allegations.
Under the terms of the PlayStation settlement, class members may receive compensation tied to their eligible purchases, with distributions calculated pursuant to a court-approved plan of allocation.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 2, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Oct. 15, 2026.
No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement benefits. Class members with deactivated PlayStation Network accounts have until Aug. 27, 2026, to submit their purchase information to receive settlement benefits.
