List of references on Sony websites to players "owning" their digital games
Four California PlayStation buyers sued Sony on June 18, 2026, alleging that the PlayStation Store’s “Buy Now” and “Confirm Purchase” buttons mislead consumers into believing they own digital games. The plaintiffs cited small, unhighlighted license disclosures and listed purchases such as NBA 2K25 ($20.99), NBA 2K26 ($65.99), and Resident Evil Requiem ($69.99). Sony filed for arbitration and dismissal on August 21, 2026, and a hearing is set for October 1, 2026.
