This infographic explains the proposed $7.85 million antitrust settlement involving Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation Store users in the United States. Around 4.4 million PSN accounts have been identified as potentially eligible for automatic store credits tied to qualifying digital game purchases made between April 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023.
The case centers on Sony’s 2019 decision to stop retailers from selling download vouchers for individual PlayStation games, a move plaintiffs alleged reduced price competition in the digital market. The settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing and still requires final court approval, with a hearing scheduled for October 15, 2026.
