Sony Faces Class Action Over Tariff Windfall on PS5

A California federal class action accuses Sony Interactive Entertainment of retaining a windfall from IEEPA tariffs and seeks refunds from CBP passed to PS5 buyers after a Supreme Court ruling that the tariffs were unlawful. Plaintiffs contend Sony raised PS5 prices by up to $200 between Aug 2025 and Apr 2026 to offset the tariffs, and that the refunds would amount to a double-dip if kept by Sony; the nationwide class covers PS5 buyers from Aug 1, 2025 to present. The suit was filed May 6, 2026 and mirrors a recent Nintendo-related case.
