The disc edition of the standard PS5, which was launched in India in February 2021, is currently priced at Rs. 54,990.
The “Summer Promo” offer will only cover the disc version of the standard PS5 with model number CFI -1208A01R. This offer will start from April 10th and will be active till April 30th or till the stock of the console model runs out. Standard PS5 will get a discount of up to Rs. 13,000.

PlayStation 5 Slim arrives in India with 10-minute delivery in these cities
The slim version of the PS5, which was first announced in October last year, went on sale in India last week. The latest discount is probably aimed at clearing the stock of older models of the console. The PS5 Slim, which is thinner and lighter than the standard PS5, comes at the same price of Rs. 54,990 for the disc version and Rs. Rs 44,990 for the digital version. The new slim variant of the console is also available for 10-minute delivery in select cities in India through Blinkit.
The PS5 has sold more than 50 million units since its launch in November 2020, but console sales are slowing, Sony confirmed in its quarterly earnings call earlier this year. The company had said it was likely to miss its PS5 sales target for fiscal year 2023, with it expected to sell four million units short of its 25 million target for the year.
