PS5 to Receive Another Rs. 7,500 Discount From August 24 in India: All Details

Sony is planning another PS5 promotion in India, promising a discount of Rs. 7,500. The deal is only available on disc versions of the console with 4K Bluray, and will be available at select online and brick-and-mortar retailers on Thursday, August 24. The sale is expected to last for nine days till September 2nd and bring down the price to Rs 100. 47,490. This price cut is exactly the same as the July sale, so if you missed it, now is a great time to get your hands on a PS5. While supply shortages are certainly no longer an issue, we recommend being a little prepared as hordes of gamers congregating (online) to buy consoles can cause server load.

This is the second time Sony has offered a discount on a current-generation console since a price increase in November 2022, which saw a 10% price increase for the aforementioned disc version. It’s worth mentioning that neither the digital version nor any of the game’s bundled variants will receive any discounts — unless the store decides to implement its own discount. For online retailers, the 15 percent discount will be implemented on Amazon India, Croma, Flipkart, Games the Shop, Reliance Digital, ShopatSC, Vijay Sales and other “select retailers,” according to a press release. Meanwhile, industry insider Rishi Alwani speculated that PS5 sales targets in India may be far behind, leading to a second sale within a month.

He also added that the back-to-back promotional offer has nothing to do with making room for the long-rumored PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro consoles.Earlier this month, a leaked video A slightly slimmer version of the console was shown, featuring a new cover with dual USB Type-C ports on the front and a bump on the side to accommodate space for a removable disk drive.one Insider Gaming Report Last year’s Microsoft confirmed similar details about the newly revamped console, which also matches what Microsoft said in its court case with the US Federal Trade Commission in early July. Xbox parent company believes that Sony plans to release a lower-priced PS5 Slim model later this year, priced at $399.99 (roughly Rs. 33,093). At the moment, it’s unclear what improvements the new console brings, but calling it “Slim” is a bit of an exaggeration if you look at it based on the leaked video.

Recently, Sony began rolling out a beta version of cloud streaming on PS5, and some PS Plus Premium members will be able to stream games at up to 4K resolution. Subscribers will be able to stream a host of games from the cloud without actually owning or downloading them on their consoles. For beta testing, players can choose between four major resolutions (720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p) and test 12 games, including God of War, Ragnarok, Death Stranding, Demon’s Souls “, “Horizon Forbidden West” and so on.
