Estimated payout
A cash-value PlayStation Network wallet credit (or a mailed check for deactivated accounts), paid pro-rata from the $7.85 million fund.
Proof required?

Who qualifies
U.S. PlayStation Store buyers who purchased certain qualifying digital video games between April 1, 2019 and December 31, 2023. If your PSN account is active, you're paid automatically; if it's deactivated, you must contact the administrator to receive your share.
Background
The case alleged that after April 2019 Sony stopped letting third-party retailers sell download codes for full PlayStation games, funneling digital sales through its own PlayStation Store. Plaintiffs argued that removing that retail competition let Sony charge higher prices for digital titles than shoppers would have paid in a competitive market.

- If your PSN account is deactivated: your qualifying purchase information and a current mailing address.
