India PS5 Restock: PlayStation 5 and God of War Ragnarök Bundle Pre-Orders Go Live February 7

The February PS5 restock is scheduled for Tuesday, and it’s a special restock. Sony has announced that the last batch of pre-orders for its current-gen console in India are set to go live on February 7 at 12 p.m. Unlike the past couple of months, when gamers were forced to purchase a Horizon Forbidden West PS5 bundle – regardless of the PS5 variant – the company now offers alternatives to choose from. This time, Sony will be selling the disc version of the PS5 as a standalone purchase, in addition to a God of War Ragnarök bundle. Keep in mind that prices have been revised after a hike in November, with the base PS5 now costing Rs. 54,990.

The God of War Ragnarök bundle is priced at Rs. 59,390 – that’s Rs. 5,400 more than the Horizon Forbidden West bundle, which costs Rs. 53,990 in August. In November, Sony India raised prices for its current-gen console by 12.5%, prompting an update and price hike for bundles. A standalone PS5 Digital Edition now costs Rs. 44,990, while the beefier PS5 disc variant is now priced at Rs. 54,990 – as mentioned above. Luckily, accessories haven’t seen a price hike yet. God of War Ragnarök opened to positive reception from fans and critics alike for its epic-scale storytelling and combat that enhanced the original. The title won in six categories at The Game Awards 2022, losing to Elden Ring for the coveted Game of the Year award.

Although the retailers themselves didn’t provide any details on the bundle itself, games analyst Rishi Alwani told Gadgets 360 that it should include a digital download code for the bundled game. For now, the pre-order banner and ads are up on Reliance Digital, e2z Store, and Sony Center website. Given what we’ve seen in the past, PS5s are also expected to go live for pre-order at Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Gameloot, and Vijay Sales. While PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan promised last month that PS5 supply shortages won’t be an issue in the future, there’s no guarantee that this applies to India as well. So, make sure you’re ready for the pre-order date as consoles quickly sell out, much like a flash sale – on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additionally, enthusiasts can now purchase the PS5’s DualSense Edge controllers, which are essentially Sony’s very late response to Xbox’s Elite series of gamepads. Priced at Rs. 18,990, it comes with a range of customizable options, including the ability to remap buttons, swap thumbstick caps, and create separate profile settings to easily switch between games.

According to ShopatSC, if you manage to pre-order a console, it should start shipping from around February 21. The site also has a standard COVID-19 warning about possible delays depending on lockdown or curfew rules in some locations. “Product delivery will depend on your location,” he adds.
