Despite being one of the most popular gaming consoles in the market, the Sony PlayStation 5 still remains to be inaccessible for many gamers. Primarily, because the console is always out of stock thanks to the components shortage. However, the PlayStation 5 console does go on sale sometimes, and now, Sony has officially announced its next availability details for the Indian market.

The Sony PlayStation 5 will go on pre-orders from February 22 in the country. The console will be available for pre-booking at 12 noon at all the retail stores like ShopatSC, Amazon, and GamesTheStop. Customers can book two of the available variants – the PS5 Standard Disc Edition for Rs. 49,990(~$669)  and PS5 Digital Edition for Rs. 39,990(~$535).

Interestingly, this will be the second time the console will be going on booking. Last time, the console went on pre-booking in January in the country.  In case you weren’t able to get your hands on the console last time, now is the time.

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.

Recently, Sony added the Voice commands feature in the latest software beta. It allows users to voice chat or report to a party.
