"The Northern District of California granted preliminary approval of a settlement lodged against Sony by lead plaintiff Agustin Caccuri in 2023, which accused the PlayStation developer and manufacturer of monopolizing the market by limiting third-party digital sales on its platforms."
"As part of the preliminary settlement, Sony will have to pay roughly $7.8 million to all persons in the United States who purchased specific digital games through PSN from April 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023."
"Although the settlement has now been preliminarily approved, the Northern District of California has scheduled a Fairness Hearing on October 15, 2026, to conclude that the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Settlement Class."
