Hi friends, If you are a fan of PS5 in India, this has got to be the best New Year’s gift from Sony. The company has finally announced a launch date of PlayStation 5 for the country.
Sony‘s PlayStation India, via a Twitter post, made the breaking announcement. Accordingly, the next-gen Gaming Console will launch officially on February 2, 2021, in India. Before that, you can start pre-ordering it from January 12 at 12 PM IST(UTC+ 05:00).
That said, Sony has put a neat little disclaimer that pre-orders will last till the “stocks last”. Now, we really want to be positive and don’t want to jinx it but don’t expect a lot as the demand is strikingly high in the country. Not willing to wait for an official launch, People had already started buying imported units at crazy prices as high as ₹90,000
Speaking of which, the company has already announced the pricing of the gaming console and other accessories for India back in October. In case you don’t know, you can take a look at the details as follows:
PlayStation 5(4K- BlueRay Disc Drive Edition)- ₹49,990($684)
PlayStation 5(Digital Edition)- ₹39,990($547)
The Sony PlayStation 5 is coming after a three-month delay in India. Right from the first official launch on November 12(US, Japan), it has been under great demand. The company tried its best to improve the stock during November 19 launch in Europe.
Nevertheless, the India launch finally is here and it is definitely going to add up to the tally of 3.4 million unit sales Sony had already achieved elsewhere last year.
