Is PS5 value in India and launch date incoming? Sony has introduced a ‘PlayStation 5 Showcase’ occasion for Wednesday, September 16 at 1pm PDT — for us in India, that interprets to Thursday, September 17 at 1:30am IST.

Since Sony held its PS5 occasion in June, Microsoft has had a games event for Xbox Sequence X, revealed a extra reasonably priced next-gen console in Xbox Series S, and introduced prices and release date for each these variants. Pre-orders for Xbox Sequence X and Sequence S kick off Tuesday, September 22 — and Sony would not need to be standing round as that occurs.
