To recall, Sony announced the PlayStation 5 at the end of 2020 and made it available for purchase in January 2021. The Japanese tech giant has struggled to stock up the PS5 units, reportedly due to a global chip and component shortage issue. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 that was held in January, Sony said the PlayStation 5 shortage is over and it will be much easier to purchase it going forward. The restocking of PS5 consoles has improved in the country, with the company carrying out PS5 pre-orders twice in February.

Unlike before, the PlayStation 5 is available for purchase through multiple channels in India, such as ShopAtSC, Amazon, Games The Shop, Vijay Sales, Flipkart, Croma, and Reliance Digital. These platforms are expected to offer the PlayStation 5 with a Rs 5,000 discount starting next month.

In related news, Sony is said to be working on a new PS5 variant called the PlayStation 5 Pro. It is expected to offer improved performance with upgraded specifications. It may come equipped with AMD’s new APU and a better thermal management system in the form of liquid cooling technology. As per a recent report, Sony may unveil the PlayStation 5 Pro gaming console in late 2024.
