The PlayStation 5 Digital
Edition won’t be available in India in time for the PS5 release date of
February 2, 2020. In addition to this the Dual Sense charging station, HD
camera, and PS Headset will be skipping India at launch as well. The news comes
via a Twitter account that’s been tracking PS5 India launch details. IGN India has been able to verify
its claims via sources at retail and can confirm that the information posted is
accurate.
We reached out
to Sony for comment as to why the PS5 Digital Edition and these accessories
will be skipping India and we received the following statement over email:
“PS5 Digital
Edition and select peripherals (Dual Sense charging station, HD camera and PS
headset) will not be available in the launch window. Please monitor our
official channels for updates on release dates.”
What this means
is only the DualSense controller and Media Remote will be available in India at
launch in addition to the PS5 with a disc drive.
That said, game stores in the
country have finally gotten their allocations of the PS5 disc version though
Sony is yet to confirm what the pre-order guidelines should be. This is in
stark contrast to other markets where Sony outlined how it would take place to prevent
overcrowding during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Interestingly, don’t expect stores to sell the PS5 as is. Rather, sources familiar with Sony’s plans claim that a change in margin structure from the company and ample quantities of titles like Sackboy A Big Adventure and Demon’s Souls would ensure that stores will try bundling games with their PS5s as selling them separately may be too tough a task.
