PlayStation 5

PlayStation 5 India pre-order day has arrived, finally. Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales will accept online PS5 pre-orders, starting at 12pm on Tuesday, January 12. The Rs. 49,990 PlayStation 5 with a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive is your only option right now, as Sony has decided not to bring PS5 Digital Edition to India at this moment. What you get is the PS5 console and an included game (Astro’s Playroom). PS5 pre-orders will be fulfilled starting Tuesday, February 2, with some retailers allowing pick-ups on launch day.

Alongside the console, you can also pre-order extra DualSense controllers at Rs. 5,990 apiece — the DualShock 4 works on the PS5 but only with PS4 games — and the Rs. 2,590 Media Remote. Three PlayStation Studios titles in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon’s Souls, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and other titles in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Hitman 3, Deathloop, Back 4 Blood, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate also go up for pre-order Tuesday at 12pm. There’s no sign of Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (which includes Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered), nor the other accessories (Pulse 3D wireless headset, PlayStation HD Camera, and DualSense Charging Station).
