Sony PS5 restock in India

While the console will now be up for pre-booking twice in one month, it doesn’t look like the shortage of stock is going to go away anytime soon.

The console was available with for pre-booking with a God of War Ragnarök Bundle and a standalone PS5 disc version. Earlier,  gamers were forced to buy only the PS5 Horizon Forbidden West bundle regardless of what variant they wanted.

The price of PS5 has been changed after the November hike. The base model of PS5 is available now for ₹54,990. 

Now that things are going back to normal, Sony isn’t the only company that is facing a shortage of products. Microsoft has also been struggling to keep up with demand. On the PC gaming front, AMD and Nvidia are also struggling to keep pace with the demand for their new GPUs. Needless to say, while this might be a great time for gaming in terms of hardware, getting your hands on said hardware is another matter entirely.
