In a significant legal move, Sony has filed a lawsuit against Tencent, alleging that its upcoming game, Light of Motiram, is a slavish clone of Sony’s acclaimed Horizon series. This lawsuit, filed in a California federal court, highlights the growing concerns over intellectual property rights in the gaming industry, especially as the lines between inspiration and imitation blur. Sony claims that the similarities between Light of Motiram and its Horizon games are so pronounced that players could easily confuse the two.

In a significant milestone for the gaming community, Sony has announced that the PlayStation 5 (PS5) now boasts more monthly active players than its predecessor, the PlayStation 4 (PS4), marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of the PlayStation brand. This shift was revealed during a recent business segment meeting, where Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) highlighted the growing engagement of PS5 users compared to the established PS4 base. The latest figures indicate that the combined monthly active users across both consoles have surged to 124 million, a notable increase from 97 million reported last year.
