flag Sony tests dynamic pricing on PlayStation Store, causing price differences for same games based on user data.

flag Sony is testing dynamic pricing on the PlayStation Store, with some users in different regions or account states seeing significantly varied prices for the same games, including discounts up to 58% for some and higher prices for others. flag The A/B testing, ongoing for months and involving 139 games across 68 regions, adjusts base prices and discounts based on user data, though no price increases have been observed. flag While Sony has not confirmed the tests, price discrepancies—such as one user paying £9.99 for Assassin’s Creed Unity versus £3.74 for another—have been widely reported. flag The company has introduced a feature showing a game’s lowest past price, but does not disclose dynamic pricing. flag Unlike Microsoft, Sony does not label such deals, raising concerns about transparency and fairness, though the practice is not currently illegal under EU law.
