₹20,000 Price Increase in India!
For PlayStation fans in India, here is the good news! Sony PS5 is reportedly coming back in stock in the Indian market. But there is also some bad news. It is arriving with a new increased price.
According to recent reports and some leaks, the PlayStation console is coming with a massive 40% price increase. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Sony PS5 new price in India
According to different reports and details from the official Sony Centre website and Flipkart, PlayStation 5 will now retail for ₹69,990, compared to the original launch price of ₹49,900. This is around a 40% increase (₹20,090).
This has surprised many PlayStation fans and gamers in India, who were looking to purchase the console, since GTA 6 is going to launch on November 19, 2026.
Why has the price increased for PlayStation 5?
For now, Sony has not revealed any details on the reported price hike in India. However, many industry analysts believe that there are several factors that could have an effect on the price hike. Here are some:
- Rising import and logistics costs
- Currency fluctuations
- Supply chain expenses
- Regional pricing adjustments
Because of the new growing AI ecosystem and the shortages of RAM, we are getting sky-high prices for RAM and SSD, which also contributes to the recent price hikes on consoles in the gaming market.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that this new price is a lot for an average Indian gamer. Even if they could somehow purchase the Sony PS5, they have to spend more money on games as well.
Many fans also believe that this is Sony’s strategy to sell the console at a higher price before the launch of GTA 6. Everyone is waiting to play GTA VI and the only place where they can play this game is on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.
