PlayStation 5 India launch: How to sign up for pre-order registrations

The PlayStation 5 is highly-anticipated – after all, it marks the ninth generation of game consoles. The console features a two-toned white design with black accents and blue lighting. The PS5 is primarily designed to be placed vertically, like the Xbox Series X.

The console will include two versions: one with a 4K Blu-ray drive and a pure Digital Edition. The latter version should cost less than the regular model, given it does not include the optical drive.
