Sony PS5 DualSense Drift Class Action lawsuit

A US law firm has now filed a class action lawsuit against Sony over the alleged PlayStation 5 DualSense controller that some gamers have experienced.

The lawsuit was filed earlier this week by a company called Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith, which is also responsible for the previous Nintendo Joy-Con lawsuit. When they learned that a number of PS5 gamers were experiencing the same flaw on Sony’s new DualSense controllers, it openly invited those who suffered from operations to join the case.

The law firm is gathering enough interest, and now claims that Sony̵

7;s controllers are “defective”, as it is prone to move and move across the screen with no user input at all, which “compromises the DualSense controller’s core functionality.” It further claims that Sony had prior knowledge of this operating phenomenon from online consumer complaints, as PlayStation 4s DualShock 4 suffered from similar errors but failed to rectify the issues.

“Had the plaintiff been aware of the operating defect before he bought the PS5, he would otherwise not have bought the PS5, or would have paid significantly less for it,” the filing concludes. Sony has not yet issued an official statement on archiving.
