Sony has increased the price of the PlayStation 5 in India. The new prices of both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition have shot up by up to 12.5 percent, so the former now costs Rs 54,990, while the other one has a new sticker price of Rs 44,990. The move comes days after Microsoft hiked the price of Xbox Series X and Series S consoles in India three times in a row. You can blame the negative fluctuation in the currency and the ongoing economic slowdown for the hike in the price. Also Read - God of War Ragnarok graphics modes revealed before release next week
The Sony shopping website, ShopAtSC, has quietly revised the price of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition from Rs 49,990 to Rs 54,990, representing a hike of 10 percent, and from Rs 39,990 to Rs 44,990, after a 12.5 percent increase. The availability, however, remains limited for both variants. Since the official prices of the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition have been hiked — which is likely to reflect on third-party resellers soon, the black-market prices are also expected to go up, considering the scarce availability.
