£2B Showdown: Sony Accused of Overpricing on PlayStation Store

£2B Showdown: Sony Accused of Overpricing on PlayStation Store

Sony is facing a £2 billion class action in the UK over claims it overcharged customers through the PlayStation Store. The lawsuit argues that by controlling digital sales and applying commission fees, Sony forced players to pay higher prices for games and add-ons. Brought on behalf of millions of users, the case challenges the company’s dominance over console-based downloads. Sony disputes the allegations and says its pricing structure reflects industry standards. The hearing is scheduled to begin in London this month.
