Anyone who has purchased PC games or add-on content in the UK between 4 June 2018 to 4 June 2024, is automatically included and potentially entitled to compensation if the case is won. Consumers are encouraged to sign-up at steamyouoweus.co.uk to be kept up to date on the case.
Collective proceedings involve a claim brought by a class representative on behalf of a defined group of persons who have suffered loss as a result of a breach of competition law. There is no guarantee that compensation will be made available in the future – the case must first be won in the Competition Appeal Tribunal, unless an earlier settlement is agreed.
