PS5 price and release date officially revealed — everything you need to know
After months of fruitless speculation, Sony has finally announced the PS5’s price and release date.
No more hedging; no more “leaks,” no more interminable rumors; we have the real thing. The full-featured PS5 with a disc drive will cost $499; the PS5 Digital Edition will cost $399.
The system will debut in the U.S, Japan, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, and South Korea on November 12, and the rest of the world on November 19. Pre-orders begin on Sept. 17 at select retailers.
The information came from Sony’s September PS5 Livestream, at the very end of the event. After highlighting new titles like Final Fantasy XVI and Spider-Man: Miles Morales (and just before teasing the next God of War game), Sony gave us a very straightforward list of PS5 prices and release dates for different territories.
PS5 costs
As expressed over, the consoles will cost $499 and $399 in the U.S., with comparable costs all through the remainder of the world: €499 and €399, £449 and £359, and ¥49,980 and ¥39,980, contingent upon your region.

This is generally in accordance with what most experts and fans anticipated, albeit some idea that Sony may attempt to drastically undermine its opponent, Microsoft. Rather, the PS5 with a circle drive costs $499: precisely equivalent to an Xbox Series X.
In the interim, the PS5 Digital Edition, at $399, costs $100 more than Microsoft's less-incredible Xbox Series S. There's no consistent correlation between the PS5 Digital Edition and the Xbox Series S, despite the fact that it's intriguing that shoppers will have the option to browse four distinct consoles that go somewhere in the range of $300 and $500 come this November.
PS5 delivery date
The PS5's delivery date is likewise to some degree astounding since Microsoft isn't wanting to do a stunning dispatch. Besides, November 12 is just a short time after the Xbox Series X's dispatch date, November 10. Most fans expected Sony to trust that Microsoft's promotion will subside. While the Xbox Series X will even now beat the PS5 to retail, having a two-day lead might not have a similar effect as holding up seven days between supports. What impact this has on deals — assuming any — we'll need to sit back and watch.
Nonetheless, it merits bringing up that the November 19 delivery date will very likely be a mistake to Sony fans in Western Europe and different domains. While the Xbox Series X will dispatch worldwide on November 10, PS5 fans that aren't in one of the nations referenced above should hold up an entire additional week to obtain one of the new Sony supports.
All in all, it is anything but an awfully significant time-frame, however, it brings up issues about how and why Sony picked which nations will get the gadget first.
