Sony is being investigated over concerns it's abusing a "dominant position in the video game console market"

Sony PS5 close up

Sony is being investigated by Romania's competition watchdog over concerns it's abusing PlayStation's dominant position in the console market by having digital games available through the PlayStation Store only and banning third parties from selling activation codes.

In a press release, translated and shared on ResetEra, the Romanian Competition Council said, "The competition authority has indications that Sony may have abused its dominant position in the video game console market both by selling online video games compatible with PlayStation consoles exclusively through the PlayStation Store platform and by prohibiting the sale of game activation codes video compatible with PlayStation consoles by competing distributors."
