In a class-action lawsuit filing, plaintiff Christina Trejo accuses Sony of avoiding disclosing a defect that supposedly causes the system to shut down during gameplay, resulting in lost progress. The suit alleges that Sony is not only aware of the problem but also has knowingly sold millions of PS5s with the same issue. As a result, the plaintiff's lawsuit filing aims to have Sony pay damages as punishment for the alleged inaction.
If the suit is founded in truth, it means a large portion of PS5 owners must suffer from this issue and Sony has not acted to solve it in any way. However, reports on the issue seem scarce, and while the PS5 suffered from stability issues around launch, a lot of problems were fixed with updates to the system software. Some specific games would also cause issues, but generally, such games also receive patches.
