The article was updated after Sony announced the PS5 went out of stock on the day 1 of the pre-order period. The updated article also includes PlayStation India s official statement.
At the beginning of this year, Sony announced that the latest PlayStation 5 will officially launch in India on 2 February. The company took to twitter to announce the news. It also confirmed that the pre-order PlayStation 5 will kick off from 12 January at 12 pm on Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, Games The Shop, Shop at Sony Center, Vijay Sales, and select authorised retail partners. To recall, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition were launched in June and were expected to launch in India on 19 November.
The Digital Edition of the console is not launching yet

PlayStation 5 India pre-orders went live earlier on Tuesday, and disappeared within minutes if they appeared at all. Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales opened online PS5 pre-orders at 12pm on Tuesday, January 12. And by 12:10pm, all the sites were either displaying “sold out”, struggled to load and/or had crashed, or had never been able to manage the traffic in the first place. It all signalled that Sony had severely underestimated the PS5 demand in India, or maybe it didn t have enough units on offer to begin with. After all, PlayStation 5 has been facing stock shortages globally. The PS5 will be back in stock, but Sony India wouldn t say when.
