The PS5 price rise has officially reached India, making Sony's popular gaming console significantly more expensive for buyers. Sony has increased the price of the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition (Disc Version) by Rs 15,000, taking its retail price to Rs 69,990. The revised pricing is already visible on Sony's official ShopAtSC website, although the console is currently listed as out of stock. The latest increase follows similar price hikes introduced by Sony in several global markets, including the US, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
The move comes as Sony continues to deal with higher component costs and global economic pressures. For Indian gamers planning to buy a PS5, this is one of the biggest price revisions since the console launched in the country.
