PS 5 Prices Shoot Up

The buzz doing the rounds is that the PS 5 prices are going to go up in India by at least 10%, which is quite huge as Sony India was one of the first platforms to update the prices for two of the company’s variants, PS 5 and PS 5 Digital Edition, both of which are considered the elusive next-gen console of Sony.

PS 5 Digital Edition

Sony Center’s official website Shopatsc was the first to list out the price of PS5, which is a 4K Blu-ray equipped model that will now cost Rs.54,990, while its earlier price of Rs.49,990. Then we have the PS5 Digital Edition that will now cost Rs.44,990, whereas its launch price was Rs.39,990, which is a 12.5% increase.

A major reason is speculated to be the rising US Dollar (USD), which has had a huge impact not just in the US but throughout the world. The silver lining is that PS 5 accessories will be available at the same price as before and won’t be subjected to any hike, at least not yet.
