Sony India has finally broken its silence about the PlayStation 5’s Indian pricing. The announcement comes almost a month after Xbox confirmed the Series S and X’s price in India and even opened pre-orders.
The Indian launch of the PS5 faced quite a few hurdles, which led many to believe that it would get delayed. While Sony doesn’t have the exact date yet, it shouldn’t be too far now. “We know that gamers in India are excited to get their hands on PS5. Availability in each country is subject to, amongst other things, local import regulations, and our local teams are working through the logistics. We will share an update on the launch date for India as more information becomes available.” In most other markets, it will be available starting November 19.
