Around 12 million PlayStation owners could be owed more than £160 - are you one?
Sony is accused of charging unfair prices for digital games under a near monopoly, with 12.2 million UK PlayStation users potentially owed £162 each, the claim states.
- Consumer champion Alex Neil filed a £2 billion lawsuit against Sony alleging overcharging UK customers for PlayStation digital games and in-game purchases, stating, `We estimate that the damages in this claim is £2bn, before interest.`
- The claim says Sony used its near monopoly on PlayStation Store sales to enforce strict terms and set excessive prices between August 19, 2016 and August 19, 2022.
- Consumer Voice estimates more than 12.2 million PlayStation console owners could receive £122 excluding interest and £162 including interest per Class Member.
- If Sony refuses to settle, a trial will begin on March 2, 2026, estimated to run for around 10 weeks, while Neil and Milberg London LLP push Sony to settle soon.
- All qualifying UK PlayStation customers will be automatically included and do not need to take action to claim compensation; for updates, they can visit the PlayStation You Owe Us website.
