New Delhi, October 17

Sony PlatStation5, likely to arrive next month globally amid the initial pre-order mess, will cost Rs 49,990 in India and the PS5 Digital Edition will be available for Rs 39,990.

The company said that while the gamers in India are excited to get their hands on PS5, availability is subject to local import regulations.

“Our local teams are working through the logistics. We will share an update on the launch date for India as more information becomes available,” the company said in a statement.

Sony, last month, apologised for PS5 pre-orders being a bit of a mess which caused many gamers to miss out on securing a console.

“Let’s be honest: PS5 pre-orders could have been a lot smoother. We truly apologise for that. Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for pre-order — retailers will share more details. And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year,” the company said in a tweet.

When it comes to games, Demon’s Souls will cost Rs 4,999 while Destruction Allstars will come for Rs 4,999. Marvel Spiderman Miles Morales: Ultimate Edition will cost the gamers Rs 4,999 and Sackboy A Big Adventure will come for Rs 3,999, the company said. IANS
