Sony has announced a limited-time festival season offer providing Rs 5,000 discounts on PlayStation 5 consoles in India, coinciding with major e-commerce platform sales beginning Monday, September 22.
The promotion applies to two PlayStation 5 models: the physical edition (CFI-2008A01X) and digital edition (CFI-2008B01X). Both receive identical Rs 5,000 price reductions during the promotional period.
Sony Revised Pricing Structure
The PS5 digital edition is now available for Rs 44,990, reduced from its retail price of Rs 49,990. The physical edition, which typically retails at Rs 54,990, is priced at Rs 49,990 during the sale period.
The festival discount will remain active until October 19, 2025, or while supplies last. The offer is available across multiple platforms including Amazon, Flipkart, quick commerce services Blinkit and Zepto, plus retail chains Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Sony Center, and other authorized PlayStation retailers nationwide.
The timing aligns with major festival season sales currently running on Amazon and Flipkart, which feature discounts across diverse product categories.
Sony Recent Price History
Sony’s discount comes after a July price increase for the digital edition PS5 in India, which rose Rs 5,000 from Rs 44,990 to Rs 49,990. The physical edition pricing remained unchanged during that adjustment. Notably, the PS5 digital edition originally launched in India at Rs 39,990.
Global Pricing Trends
Sony implemented price increases across multiple international markets in April, affecting the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The company cited a “challenging economic environment” as justification for these adjustments. Last month, Sony raised PS5 and PS5 Pro prices in the United States as well.
The broader gaming industry has experienced similar pricing pressures. Microsoft increased Xbox console prices globally in May and announced additional US price hikes effective October, reflecting industry-wide responses to uncertain economic conditions and tariff policies implemented by the Trump administration.
The current promotional pricing represents Sony’s effort to stimulate sales during India’s key festival shopping season while managing global economic pressures affecting consumer electronics pricing.
