GoKawiilSony's $7.85M PlayStation antitrust settlement gains preliminary court approval
A proposed $7.85 million settlement in Caccuri v. Sony Interactive Entertainment has won preliminary court approval after being rejected twice, most recently in July 2025 over unclear recovery estimates. The suit accused Sony of monopolizing digital game sales by ending game-specific vouchers that once let PlayStation owners buy titles from rival retailers, forcing them toward the PlayStation Store. Sony denies wrongdoing, and no court has ruled it broke any law, but a final approval hearing is set for Oct. 15.
