Submit your claim form at PsnSoeSettlement.com to get benefits like free game, free themes, virtual currency in your account wallet and more from the PSN-SOE Settlement.

PSN-SOE Settlement
A settlement has been arrived at with the Sony Entities - SNE, SOE and SCEA in a class action lawsuit. The settlement is regarding the illegal and unauthorized attacks in April 2011 on computer network systems. If you had a Sony PlayStation Network account, a Qriocity account or an SOE account before May 15, 2011, you can get benefits from the class action settlement.


The criminal intruders attacked Sony network platforms in Apr 2011. The plaintiffs allege that defendants (i.e. Sony) inadequately protect the network platforms, that’s why illegal people were able to access and steal the information in order to commit fraud and identity theft.
Sony denies the allegations and state that they did nothing wrong. But then, defendants have agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the cost and risk of a trial.

Who’s Eligible

The class member of the PSN-SOE Settlement includes everyone in the United States (plus U.S. territories) who had a PlayStation account, a Qriocity account or a Sony Online Entertainment account at any time before May 15, 2011.
