Sony Interactive Entertainment is facing a proposed class action lawsuit in the US alleging it improperly raised PlayStation 5 prices due to tariffs and failed to refund consumers after trade policies shifted. Plaintiffs claim Sony violated consumer protection and unfair competition laws by retaining higher prices after market conditions changed. The lawsuit mirrors a similar case filed against Nintendo and adds to a broader wave of legal scrutiny Sony faces over PlayStation Store pricing, digital game sales, and marketplace practices. Sony recently finalized a separate $7.8 million settlement over digital game purchase allegations. The case is in early stages and has not yet been certified as a formal class action.
