Overview
- PRS says it has commenced legal proceedings in the UK alleging Steam makes available games that use members’ works without permission.
- The filing cites section 20 of the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, which covers the making‑available right.
- PRS alleges Valve has never obtained a licence from the society and highlights series including Forza Horizon, FIFA/EA FC, and Grand Theft Auto.
- The organization seeks licences covering past and future use and warns the litigation will move forward unless Valve engages.
- No public response from Valve is reported, while the company also faces a separate loot‑box lawsuit filed last week by New York’s attorney general.
