Sony releases the PlayStation 5’s release date and pricing

Sony has officially revealed that their PlayStation 5 consoles will release this November, offering different release dates for different regions. Our guess is that Sony wants their launch to be as close to the Xbox Series X/S as possible, but they are unable to meet their planned November 12th release date in all regions. 

 In the US
Sony has also confirmed that their PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 All-Digital consoles will launch for $499.99/£449.99 and $399.99/£359.99 respectively. This places Sony’s pricing far above Microsoft’s Xbox Series S though the PlayStation 5 Disk Drive will offer stiff competition for the Xbox Series X with identical launch pricing. 

Xbox Series X/S will launch worldwide on November 10th, before PlayStation 5 in all regions. PlayStation 5 pre-orders are due to open on September 17th.
