Recently, in the U.S. state of Illinois, some PS5 owners sued SONY, claiming that SONY deliberately concealed flaws in the PS5 console system. In a class-action filing, plaintiff Christina Trejo alleges that SONY failed to disclose a flaw that could cause the console’s system to shut down during gameplay, resulting in lost saves.
The lawsuit alleges that SONY was not only aware of the problem, but also knowingly sold millions of PS5s with the same problem. Therefore, the plaintiff’s lawsuit file aims to make SONY pay compensation as punishment for the so-called inaction.
If the lawsuit is true, it means that most PS5 users are suffering from this problem, and SONY has not done anything to fix it. However, there seems to be very little coverage of this issue, and while the PS5 encountered stability issues at launch, many of the issues were resolved with system firmware updates.
Some specific games can also cause problems, but usually, those games also receive patches. It’s very unlikely that a problem persists across multiple updates, but it’s also possible that the problem was caused by a recent update.
Although the reasonableness of this lawsuit is questionable, if SONY really hides the problem of the system, then taking it to court is also a way to put pressure on the problem.
