PlayStation and Xbox are the biggest and most well-known names in the gaming industry. Xbox recently announced the closure ofHi-Fi Rushdeveloper Tango Gameworks andPreydeveloper Arkane Austin, along with two other developers with a strong portfolio, and it hasn’t gone well.
The community has bashed the company for its decision and is worried about the fate of other developers under its umbrella. While Xbox faces criticism, one PlayStation announcement is the first for the company and a good one at that, which is rare these days given the state of the industry.
Latest PlayStation India Announcement Is a First for the Company
The PlayStation 5 has been out for a while now, and thelatest model dubbed the PS5 Slim, was finally launched in India last month. The new model is slimmer and more compact than the original model, and although it has all the same specs, it comes with increased storage, from 825GB to 1TB.

Although many fans do not agree with the company advertising the console as“most powerful,”they appreciate how the company is focusing on the country. The PS5 has sold extremely well in India since its launch, and Sony wants to take that to another level, and the recent promotions show that.

The company launched the new PS5 Slim model in April and discounted the prices of the original model by up to 13,000 INR as part of the“Summer Promo.”This resulted in an increased number of sales, and Sony also discounted the latest Slim model by 5,000 INR, which can be availed of by those interested from May 1st to May 14th, 2024, or until stocks last.
However, the offer only applies to the Standard Disc Edition of the PS5 Slim, and there is no discount on the Digital Edition. The company is doing everything to bring more gamers to the platform, and it seems to be really paying off as the sales are reportedly going very well.
