PlayStation 5 launch date, price and other details revealed

Sony hosted a live digital event on September 16 in which the launch date and price for the next-gen PlayStation 5 console was announced. 

The console will be launching on  November 12th. The PS5  main model is priced at $499.99 and the digital only(non-disc drive) model  is $399.99.

Here’s the price for all other regions,

In terms of price, the PlayStation 5 gives a head to head fight to the Xbox Series X while the digital only model edges out against the Xbox Series S.

Even though the PS5 digital only edition is $100 more than the Xbox Series S, it is a better alternative. You can get the same experience across both the PlayStation models, except one doesn’t have a drive. While if you go for the Xbox Series S instead, the performance drops down considerably.

The Xbox console will launch on November 10th, which is 2 days earlier than the PlayStation 5.

You should keep in mind that the PlayStation 5 will launch only in select regions on November 12th. Namely the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand. For the rest of the world PS5 will launch on November 19th, while launch date for China still remains to be announced. Preorders have already begun via select retailers.

Also, if you pay for PlayStation Plus, you will be able to play PS4 exclusives like Detroit: Become Human, God of War and The Last of Us Remastered on the next-gen consoles  at launch for free.
