The PlayStation 5 launched in North America and several other regions around the globe to great success, despite stock being extremely limited. However, there are several areas of the world that Sony’s new console has yet to release in. A major name is being crossed off of that list, as it’s been announced that the PlayStation 5 will be launching in mainland China this May.
The PlayStation 5 will be available in China starting on May 15, 2021. The PS5 disc version will cost RMB 3,899. The all-digital version of the console will cost RMB 3,099. CNBC has reported that Sony is now taking pre-order for the consoles. Video games analyst David Ahmad reported that the PlayStation Plus Collection, which bundles in a slew of popular PS4 games, will be included at no additional charge for players in China.
