PlayStation 5 will be back in stock on Tuesday, January 18, at 12pm (noon) in India. Sony’s online store ShopAtSC has revealed the new restock details along with Amazon. This is the first sale of PS5 in 2022 and retailers including Croma, Flipkart, Prepaid Gamer Card, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales are also expected to restock the PlayStation 5 on the coming Tuesday. Currently, these e-commerce sites have the console listed on their respective sites without any pre-order date.

As mentioned, customers will be able to order it on January 18 at 12pm IST (noon). The deliveries will start from February 8 onwards.

The new restock in 2022 comes around three weeks since the last time the PlayStation 5 went on sale in India on December 28. Like all previous sale dates, the console was sold out within minutes.

PlayStation 5 was launched globally in November 2020 and reached India early in 2021. The PS5 is priced at Rs. 49,990 for the standard edition, while the Digital Edition costs Rs. 39,990.
