Sony and Tencent Settle Horizon Dispute as Light of Motiram Is Delisted

A confidential deal ended the case with prejudice, leaving the game's fate unclear.

Overview

  • Court filings show the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, with each side bearing its own fees and costs.
  • Light of Motiram’s listings were removed from Steam and the Epic Games Store, while the game’s website and social channels remain online.
  • Tencent confirmed a confidential resolution and said there will be no further public comment, adding the companies look forward to working together.
  • Earlier in December, Tencent agreed to pause promotion and public testing ahead of a January 29, 2026 hearing that is no longer needed.
  • Sony sued in July alleging the game was a “slavish clone” that copied protected Horizon elements, while Tencent argued Sony was trying to monopolize genre conventions.
