PlayStation Pricing Is on Trial Again, as Sony Fights for 30-Percent Fees

Sony is facing a UK lawsuit over its 30% PlayStation Store fee, with critics saying its control of digital sales blocks competition.

A consumer group argues the fee inflates prices for gamers and has pursued a multi-billion-pound class-style case against the company.

Sony lost an appeal to dismiss the case, and the UK trial is now wrapping up with a decision expected later.

The outcome could pressure Sony to lower its commission and set a wider precedent for platform fees in gaming and app stores.
