Ever since its release, the PlayStation 5 has been in short supply due to multiple reasons like low productions due to the ongoing chip shortage, global pandemic, and scalpers buying up all the stock made available in the market.
Now, a new Gadgets360 report has revealed that Sony India will soon restock the PlayStation 5 in the country. The news comes from an industry insider Rishi Alwani who has revealed that the restock will occur on January 18th and will be more limited than usual.
The console is also said to go on pre-order on major retailers like Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales. The console can also be pre-ordered on the Sony Center website ShopAtSC.
As for the customers already in pre-order queues, the major retailers have not provided any details on when we can expect the PS5 deliveries to commence. The Sony Central website states that the company intends to deliver the allocated stocks to its customers around February 8th, so we expect other online retailers to start the delivery process around the same timeframe.
As of writing this article, no PS5 units have been spotted for pre-order on major online retail sites like Amazon, Flipkart, and Chroma, so keep a lookout for opportunities to book a PS5.
In the meantime, Sony is dealing with the shortages by increasing production for their last-gen PS4 consoles to keep players engaged in the PlayStation ecosystem till the company figures out a way to increase PS5 supplies. But for now, it looks like the shortages will continue till 2024.
