Sony PS5 will now weigh 300 gms lighter than the standard original version. However, the regular PS5 disc version, weighing just a few grams shy of 5 kgs, won’t receive the same weight reduction. It’s the second heaviest console Sony has ever made. The original PS3 still retains its crown as the heaviest weighing console with its 5kg heft.

Sony PS5 was released in the country for the first time since February 2021.

The PlayStation 5 will be available for pre-order again in India on August 26. While Sony plans to rush the stock for Diwali and the festive season, it might restock a limited quantity.

The Sony PS5 prices around Rs 49,990 for the normal edition, while the digital edition is priced at Rs 39,990. The PS5 Digital Edition is effectively identical to the PS5, with all of the same processing power as the disc-drive-equipped version.
