PlayStation Antitrust Complaint Mexico Targets Sony Over All

The PlayStation antitrust complaint Mexico regulators are now reviewing targets Sony Interactive Entertainment's decision to end physical game production. Federal Representative Iraís Reyes and Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio, both from the Movimiento Ciudadano party, filed the complaint with Mexico's National Antitrust Commission (COFECE) this week. They argue that eliminating discs starting January 2028 would leave the PlayStation Store as the only place to buy new PlayStation games, giving Sony total control over pricing and distribution.

The PlayStation antitrust complaint Mexico authorities received outlines three categories of alleged harm. Sony would become the sole price-setter for new releases, erasing retail competition. Mexican retailers including Liverpool, Sanborns, and GamePlanet would lose the ability to sell new PlayStation games. And the second-hand market would vanish, since digital games cannot be lent, sold, or traded between users.

PlayStation Antitrust Complaint Mexico and Global Fallout

The PlayStation antitrust complaint Mexico adds to mounting international scrutiny of Sony's all-digital strategy. A €457 million class-action suit is already underway in the Netherlands, and Spain's Ágora party has lodged a separate complaint. With the PlayStation Store also removing more than 500 movies in 2026 without offering refunds, the case highlights growing unease about digital ownership and whether platform holders can use a closed ecosystem to eliminate consumer choice.
