India PS5 Restock: PlayStation 5 will be available for pre-order on March 24

The PlayStation 5 will be available for pre-order in India on March 24 at 12pm IST (noon). Deliveries will start from April 8. Sony officially announced the restock on Sony Center’s website — ShopAtSC — while Amazon also confirmed the restock via a dedicated microsite. Sony’s upcoming next-gen console restock will only feature the standard PS5. As is the trend, expect other retailers like Flipkart, Vijay Sales, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Croma, among others, to also make the PS5 available for pre-order on March 24.

The March 24 restock comes a month after the PlayStation 5 last went on sale in India on February 22. As with previous PS5 restocks, the console sold out within minutes. According to the banner visible on ShopAtSC, customers will be able to order the PS5 on March 24 at 12pm IST (noon). The consoles will ship from April 8, as listed on ShopAtSC. However, it looks like the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition won’t be available for pre-order this time around.

Additionally, Amazon also announced that it will be restocking the PS5 at the same time. The e-commerce giant has yet to announce when it will begin shipping the console.

Flipkart, Games The Shop, Game Loot, Vijay Sales, and Croma are expected to restock the next-gen console next week at the same time. Based on what we’ve seen in the past, it’s safe to assume that all of these retailers will also be involved in restocking at the same time – March 24 at 12pm IST (noon).

The PS5 standard edition is priced at Rs. 49,990. The discless version – PS5 Digital Edition – is priced at Rs. 39,990, but it may not be available for pre-order during the next replenishment. Interested buyers are encouraged to call and inquire about console availability at their local store, in case they have better luck there.

Customers will receive a PlayStation 5 console and a DualSense controller in the box. Since its launch in November 2020, it has faced constant stock issues around the world. Huge numbers of eager customers are still waiting to get their hands on Sony’s latest gaming console.
