The Sony PlayStation 5 launched back in November 2020, however, it has been difficult to grab one even in 2022. This is largely due to the ongoing global chip shortage resulting in limited production. And what little stock is made available for sale is usually bought up by scalpers who in turn resell the console at huge markups.
However, you do not need to pay these outrageous prices as the PlayStation 5 is getting a restock in India where it will be available to purchase on MRP. The console will be back in stock in the country on March 24th.
PS5 price in India and how to buy
The PS5 price in India is Rs 39,990 for the Digital Edition and Rs 49,990 for the Blu-ray version. As usual, it will be available for purchase through Amazon, Flipkart, ShopatSC, Reliance Digital, PrepaidGamerCard, Vijay Sales, GamesTheShop, and more. PS5 will be up for pre-orders on March 24th at 12 PM IST. The new stock will probably get sold out within minutes, so we advise readers to be ready in advance. Also, there are chances some of the pre-orders may be canceled considering the limited supply issue that Sony is struggling to overcome.
The PlayStation 5 offers gaming at 4k resolution at 60fps and up to 120fps. The Standard Disc Edition offers 4K UHD Blu-ray disc support. For digital users, they need to browse through the games and movies on the digital store itself.
The console has AMD’s Zen 2 custom octa-core CPU clocked at 3.5GHz. It is paired with AMD RDNA 2 GPU with over 36 Cuda cores. It has 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and 825GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage.
