Sony Entertainment has finally revealed the release date for the much anticipated PlayStation 5 in India. Months after the PS5 was officially revealed to the public and after much debate, Sony is about to release the PS5 on February 2nd in India.
Pre-Orders for the Playstation 5 will start on January 12th, 12 AM IST. So make sure to mark down the date and time so that you can hook up in the line for one. The Playstation 5 was originally released on November 12th, for selected regions around the Globe and was released for other countries except India on November 19th, 2020.
The console will now, hopefully, be making its way to the Indian market. In addition, 3.4 million units of the PS5 were sold in its first month, according to a recent survey, making it the highest ever for any PlayStation console.
This is what Sony Tweeted out from their India Handle of Playstation:
“We are happy to announce that PS 5 shall be launched in India on 2nd of February 2021 Pre Orders for PS5 shall begin 12PM on the 12th of January and shall be available for Pre-Orders (until stock lasts at respective seller) at Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, Games The Shop, Shop at Sony Center, Vijay Sales and select authorised retail partners”
As the PS5 has been out on the international market for a while now, it has been a long time in the making for Indian console fans. We can rest easy with a launch date set, knowing that the long-awaited console will finally be here. Sony India took the time to announce the launch date at last, but now we know when the console is going to be out in India and start to plan accordingly.
Sony PlayStation 5 Specs &Prices (India)
Sony, to recall, had announced the PS5 prices for India as well as the accessories back in October. For the standard version, the PlayStation 5 will cost you Rs 49,990, while the digital edition will set you back up to Rs 39,990.
You will be charged Rs 5,990 for the DualSense Wireless Controller, Rs 5,190 for the HD camera, Rs 8,590 for the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset, Rs 2,590 for the media remote and Rs 2,590 for the DualSense Charging Station.
The PS5 has 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM. Unlike the standard hard drive PS4, the PS5 has a solid-state drive (SSD). 8K graphics, 4K graphics at a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3D audio are also supported. What comes as a consolation for gamers is that the PS4 titles would be backwards compatible with the PS5
More PlayStation 5 units for the Asian markets are scheduled to be allocated by Sony after January 2021. Hopefully, in terms of pre-orders and availability in India, the situation would be better and not as chaotic as in other regions. In countries where the console originally had a launch date, Sony also apologized for the condition of pre-orders and had vowed to provide more units to satisfy the demand.
The business was able to set a new sales record for its PlayStation console, despite this brief availability. The study also notes that if Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and backend service firms can provide additional capacity support, Sony is expected to ship 16.8 million to 18 million units of the PS5 in 2021. AMD produces the PS5’s 7nm CPU and the company has reportedly secured TSMC’s necessary components to allow production partners to ramp up console performance.
