Sony is currently facing a class action lawsuit that claims PlayStation doesn't currently provide enough warning to players that a digital purchase of a game does not result in ownership of the title. In its official response, Sony has claimed that it's actually impossible for users to own a digital PlayStation game to begin with.

All eyes are still fixed on Sony following its announcement on July 1 that physical disc production will be coming to an end in January 2028. This announcement caused widespread backlash from gamers, with it essentially meaning that players will no longer be able to purchase physical games, sell them, or let their friends borrow their copies. It also essentially means that PlayStation players will no longer own most of their game library, as when you purchase a digital game via the PlayStation Store (and many other digital storefronts), you're technically only purchasing the license to play it and not ownership rights to the game itself.

Sony confirms a dual State of Play event for its PlayStation brand and fans don't have to wait long to see what the company has planned.

Back in June, a group of four gamers began the process to sue Sony due to the alleged insufficient warnings surrounding purchases on the PlayStation Store. More specifically, the proposed class action lawsuit claims that Sony is breaking a relatively new Californian law that requires digital storefronts to make it expressly clear that consumers are purchasing a license to play the game and not the game itself.
