Proof Required?
Sony Interactive Entertainment has agreed to pay $7.85 million to settle a class action lawsuit over its PlayStation digital game marketplace. The lawsuit claimed Sony violated federal antitrust laws by monopolizing the PlayStation digital game market, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers.
If you purchased digital games from the PlayStation Store, you may be entitled to compensation from this settlement. The case centers on allegations that Sony's control over digital game sales on its platform resulted in inflated prices compared to what might have been available in a competitive market.

How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $7.85 million, which will be distributed among eligible class members. The exact amount each person receives will depend on factors such as how many games they purchased, when they made their purchases, and how many people submit valid claims.
