Sony PlayStation 5 launching in India on February 2, pre-orders begin January 12

The Sony PlayStation 5 unveiled in June 2020 went on sale in some markets from November 12, and it was expected to arrive in India on November 19. But that didn't happen due to multiple reasons, and Sony didn't provide an exact date of release of the PS5 in the South Asian country as fans kept waiting for its arrival.

That changes today, as Sony announced that PlayStation 5 will launch in India on February 2, with pre-orders going live on January 12 on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, and a bunch of other retail partners.
