PS5 India August 22 Restock: How to Pre-Order PlayStation 5, PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West Bundles

PS5's August restock is here. Today at 12pm noon, both variants of Sony's elusive next-gen console — the Rs. 49,990 Blu-ray-equipped PS5, and its Rs. 39,990 disc-less counterpart PS5 Digital Edition — will be up for pre-order in India. Except this time around, they will only be offered in a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West, the PlayStation-exclusive action RPG that was released back in February. The PS5 HFW bundle comes in at Rs. 53,990, while the Digital Edition HFW one is at Rs. 43,990. This represents a Rs. 1,000 saving if you were to buy Horizon Forbidden West for PS5. But right now, you're actually paying more considering the game was discounted to Rs. 3,749 during the PlayStation Summer Sale, and is available for even less at retail — close to Rs. 3,100 — for the PS4 version, which can be upgraded for free to the PS5 variant.

If you are trying to buy PlayStation 5 and PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West bundles online, you can do that on Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. You can also check out game stores near you. Those tend to be a better shot at times. Though as has been the case for over a year now — the PS5 celebrated its first birthday in India earlier in 2022 — the big concern is whether you can actually manage to buy one, given Sony India's continued PS5 inventory struggles.

The August 22 PlayStation 5 restock is just the 18th time Sony's flagship console is being made available for pre-order in India, since its launch last February. Its Blu-ray-devoid sibling PS5 Digital Edition has fared even poorer, with this being only the 12th time interested buyers have had the opportunity to pre-order one. Of course, that is far from the only
