Sony Facing Class Action Lawsuit Over PlayStation Store
Sony is no stranger to legal trouble over the PlayStation Store. Back in 2022, a high-profile £5 billion class-action lawsuit was filed against Sony in the UK. Set to go to trial in 2026, it alleges that Sony breached competition law by enforcing restrictive terms on developers and publishers selling games on the PlayStation Store. The Dutch lawsuit against Sony - filed earlier this year - builds on these accusations, but focuses specifically on the impact within the Netherlands, where PlayStation holds a whopping 80 percent share of the console market.
