In April 2020 a class action lawsuit was filed in the Central District Court of California
The class action was not filed in April 2020. Court records show it was filed on February 2, 2021.
Full reasoning
Court records contradict the date in this sentence.
The complaint itself is captioned "Case 2:21-cv-00922 Document 1 Filed 02/02/21", which means the class action was filed on February 2, 2021, not in April 2020. ClassAction.org's case summary for the same lawsuit also lists "Filed: February 2, 2021".
So the court and venue are right, but the filing date is wrong by about ten months.

Case 2:21-cv-00922 Document 1 Filed 02/02/21 Page 1 of 17
The lawsuit filed against Xsolla in California was deferred on September 7, 2021, with the ruling being that it would need to be re-filed in the Western District of Washington.
That is not what the court ordered. The California court sent the Soulbound claims to Washington, but it compelled the Xsolla claims to arbitration and stayed them instead of requiring refiling in Washington.
Full reasoning
The procedural history here is misstated.
On July 6, 2021—not September 7, 2021—the Central District of California granted Xsolla's motion to compel arbitration and granted Soulbound's motion to transfer. The order says: "The claims against Soulbound Studios are transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The remaining claims against Xsolla are stayed pending arbitration."
In other words, the court did not rule that the Xsolla case had to be re-filed in Washington. Only the claims against Soulbound were transferred there. The Xsolla portion remained subject to arbitration.
