The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has begun investigating Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft over the way each handles online game subscriptions.

The CMA has contacted the three platform holders requesting information about their individual online contracts to obtain a better understanding of whether any action is necessary.

The UK non-ministerial government department has also requested for comments from users of any of the trio’s services to further assist in the investigation.

Outside of this, the firm’s term and conditions will be looked into alongside how each platform provider handles cancellations and refunds.
