A PlayStation 5 (PS5) owner is suing Sony in Illinois federal court for hiding a defect in the gaming console, according to a lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Attorneys on behalf of Christina Trejo filed the class action on July 12, alleging that the company knowingly hid a PS5 defect where it powers down suddenly while the user is playing video games. <\/p>\n

This often results in loss of saved gameplay.<\/p>\n

Trejo’s complaint alleges that Sony was aware of the defect through \u201cwarranty repair requests and online consumer complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trejo is suing for violation of Illinois’ consumer laws, for breach of warranty and unjust enrichment.<\/p>\n

She is also seeking certification of the class action, fees, damages, costs and a jury trial.<\/p>\n

This lawsuit follows a previous one against Sony concerning its PS5 consoles. <\/p>\n

The lawsuit filed in February 2021 on behalf of Lmarc Turner alleged that the tech company knowingly sells its latest console with defective DualSense controllers, according to IGN.<\/p>\n

According to the suit, the controllers’ analog sticks \u201cdrift,\u201d or move on their own, during gameplay.<\/p>\n
